Create Twitter Clone Client In HTML & CSS (Source Code)

Hey, guys welcome to this blog, In today's blog, we are going to see how to create a Twitter Clone UI using Html and Css. Before that, we could see what is the Twitter client.

The Twitter client is a great management tool that is represented as one column display... That contains powerful and impressive tweets which we can read, send, mark as favorites, and manage the tweets that came.

Likewise, we are going to create this Twitter client project with html and css.

So now let's get started with the html code.

Html Code For Twitter Clone:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Twitter Client</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Quicksand:300,400' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link href="https://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/3.1.1/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head>
<body>

        <span class="first">

        <ul class="timeline">
            <li>
                <div class="avatar">
          <img src="http://www.croop.cl/UI/twitter/images/doug.jpg">
                    <div class="hover">

                        <h3>@russel</h3> retweeted <h3>@doug</h3><br/>

Now we have added the html code successfully.  In his code, we first included the link tag for css code and the title tag for the project name. Then inside the body tag, we started adding div elements inside by giving them separate names for each element. Now we add the icons for purposes like send, favorite, share, etc... Using the img tags.

With heading tags like h1, and h2 we have given the title wherever it is necessary and several places contained by div elements are specified by separate names with every element. Lastly, we are giving the images with some values and alt names for specifying it and making it adjusts with screen sizes.

We have now completed our html code, so let's begin with css code for styling.
