how to create a responsive checkout form using CSS
Creating a responsive checkout form using CSS ensures that users can efficiently and comfortably enter their billing and payment information on any device.
Approach
- Create a form that is wrapped inside a <form> tag.
- Inside the form create two sections for “Address Details” and “Payment Information”.
- Include required input fields inside the form.
- Add labels for each input field which are displayed as block elements.
- Create a place order button at the bottom.
- Styles form inputs and labels for a clean look.
- We will add font Awesome icons to labels for visual enhancement.
- Media queries are used to adjust the layout for different screen sizes.
- For small screen form groups are set to occupy 48% of the container’s width for responsiveness.
Example: The example below shows the implementation to create a responsive checkout form.
