Excellent goal! Here are the essential techniques:
**1. CSS Grid:**
```css
.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(300px, 1fr));
gap: 1rem;
}
```
**2. Flexbox:**
```css
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
}
```
**3. Media Queries:**
```css
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.container { flex-direction: column; }
}
```
**4. Relative Units:**
- Use rem, em, %, vw, vh instead of px
- Clamp() for fluid typography
**5. Mobile-first approach:**
Start with mobile styles, then add desktop enhancements.
