Why does my website looks different in chrome and firefox than it does in Safari using flexbox?
Question
I am new to HTML and CSS and have very basic knowledge of both. I am creating a test website and used a tutorial from Treehouse for part of it. I wanted to use flexbox for the layout. I have created the website, and it looks like I want it to on a smartphone, it's one single column, but when it moves to an iPad screen I want the columns at the bottom to become 2 columns, and on a desktop or mbpro screen I would like all 3 columns to show up.
In chrome and firefox, my website looks exactly how I want it to. However in Safari the website does not look right. The banner in blue is offset to the left on a desktop, and the columns at the bottom are in 3, but are way disproportionate. The first column is huge, and the last two are very slim.
I was hoping someone would be able to help me look in the right direction. I have been learning HTML and CSS for a couple of weeks and am not close to proficient. I just learned about flexbox for first time this past weekend. I would like the final page to be a single column on smartphones. then on iPad, I would like the menu at the top to be in a single column row and the company name and hours etc in the blue ribbon to be centered. And then the bottom column is split into 2, and 1 on the bottom. Then on an iPad Pro, or desktop screen I would like the same as iPad, except the final column splits into 3 equal spaces.
As I have stated, at this time my chrome and firefox is doing exactly what I want, only Safari is not working right.

Note that flexbox is supported by all major browsers, except IE 8 & 9 .
Some recent browser versions, such as Safari 8 and IE10, require vendor prefixes . This appears to be what you're missing.
For a quick way to add all the prefixes you need, post your CSS in the left panel here: Autoprefixer .

To Safari you need to write -webkit-flex, and to IE 10 - 11 you need to write -ms-flex.
You can read more about flex here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_flex.asp
