Responsive onesite website padding to centre

Question

Im currently working on making onesie scrolling website but i came accross the problem. I want my text be on the centre of first "page" but i cant make it to looks good on phone and desktop at the same time. With padding-top: 50% it looks good at mobile but terrible at desktop, on the other hand padding-top: 7 looks good on desktop but not much at phone. Can someone help me finding the golden mean?

my html code:

 section { width: 100%; height: 100vh; } .main section.page1 { background: #81D4FA; } .main section.page2 { background: #F5F5F5; } .main section.page3 { background: #81D4FA; } h1 { font-size: 8vw; color: #efefef; text-align: top; padding-top: 50%; padding-left: 15%; } h2 { list-style-type: none; font-size: 4vw; color: #efefef; text-align: center; padding-top: 2%; } a.read-more{ border: 2px solid #efefef; text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } .notnav { list-style-type: none; font-size: 3vw; padding-top: 2%; padding-left: 5%; padding-right: 15%; }

 <div class="main"> <section class="page1"> <h1> ABOUT ME <li class="notnav"> I am John, 19 years old computer science student. Mainly coding in python, but I am quick lerner and flexible person. I am currently intrested in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Design </li> </h1> <h2> <a class="read-more" href='/about'>Read More</a> </h2> </section> <section class="page2"> <h1> PROJECTS </h1> </section> <section class="page3"> <h1> CONTACT </h1> </section> </div>

Answer 1

Try this(without the use of media-query);Sorry late to the party

section {
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}

.main section.page1 {
background: #81D4FA;
  }

 .main section.page2 {
    background: #F5F5F5;
    }

   .main section.page3 {
   background: #81D4FA;
   }

   .page1{
  display:flex;
  min-height: 100%;
  align-items: center;
 text-align: center;
 flex-direction: column;
justify-content:center;
}

h1 {
font-size: 8vw;
color: #efefef;    
   }

    h2
   {
   list-style-type: none;
   font-size: 4vw;
   color: #efefef;
   text-align: center;
   }

  a.read-more{
  border: 2px solid #efefef;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: inherit;
  }
  .notnav {
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 3vw;
    clear: both;
   }

Based on your code, here is example of adaption for section.page1 with Media queries . This is what you should use to make your code adapting and responsive.

@media screen and (min-width: 400px){
      section {
        width: auto;
        height: auto;
      }
      section.page1{
        padding: 20px;
      }
      h1 {
        font-size: 8vw;
        color: #efefef;
        text-align: top;
        padding-top: 10px;
        padding-left: 15%;
      }
    }

You can also use bootstrap to get easy css with their grid system : Bootstrap Grid

 section { width: 100%; height: 100vh; } .main section.page1 { background: #81D4FA; } .main section.page2 { background: #F5F5F5; } .main section.page3 { background: #81D4FA; } h1 { font-size: 8vw; color: #efefef; text-align: top; padding-top: 50%; padding-left: 15%; } h2 { list-style-type: none; font-size: 4vw; color: #efefef; text-align: center; padding-top: 2%; } a.read-more{ border: 2px solid #efefef; text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } .notnav { list-style-type: none; font-size: 3vw; padding-top: 2%; padding-left: 5%; padding-right: 15%; } @media screen and (min-width: 400px){ section { width: auto; height: auto; } section.page1{ padding: 20px; } h1 { font-size: 8vw; color: #efefef; text-align: top; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 15%; } }

 <div class="main"> <section class="page1"> <h1> ABOUT ME </h1> <div class="notnav"> I am John, 19 years old computer science student. Mainly coding in python, but I am quick lerner and flexible person. I am currently intrested in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Design </div> <h2> <a class="read-more" href='/about'>Read More</a> </h2> </section> <section class="page2"> <h1> PROJECTS </h1> </section> <section class="page3"> <h1> CONTACT </h1> </section> </div>
