Alt Text
Hey!👋

I hope you enjoyed my previous post where we build the Navigation using Flexbox.

In this post, we are going to code the Hero Section.

HTML:

<main>
        <div class="hero-img">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="inside-container">
                    <div class="hero-content">
                        <h2>Start something that matters</h2>
                        <p>Stop wasting valuable time with projects that just isn't you.</p>
                        <a href="#">Learn more start today</a>
                    </div>
                    <div class="icons">
                        <li><i class="fab fa-facebook-square"></i></li>
                        <li><i class="fab fa-instagram"></i></li>
                        <li><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></li>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </main>
