This lesson

This lesson teaches Cards with article—the ideas, syntax, and habits you need before moving on in Pico CSS.

Class-light frameworks teach when semantic HTML alone should carry the design.

You will apply Cards with article in contexts like: Documentation sites, blogs, internal tools, and side projects where you want polish without a large class vocabulary.

Read the lesson, edit HTML/CSS in the playground, press Run to preview, then answer the lesson MCQs.

When the previous lesson's MCQs feel easy and you can explain Cards with article in your own words.

In Pico, a card is a styled <article>—not a div.card component. Optional header and footer inside the article create titled panels and action rows with consistent padding across breakpoints.

Sectioning content

Wrap each self-contained unit (blog post preview, pricing tier, API endpoint summary) in its own article. Use section with a heading when grouping multiple articles under one topic. This mirrors good semantic structure and lets Pico handle borders and vertical rhythm.

Layout tips

  • Place several cards in class="grid" for responsive columns.
  • Put primary actions in footer with role="group" button clusters.
  • Compare with Bootstrap cards, which require many nested classes—Pico needs far less markup for the same visual goal.

Self-check

  1. Which element is Pico’s card primitive?
  2. Where do card actions belong—inside footer or a bare div?
