Quick question: Have you tried to formally learn CSS?
I think you can get by with layouts on 80% knowledge from just tweaking things but to really be able to go start to finish on a frontend layout, I would suggest investing the hours to know things like what the difference is between a fixed, absolute and relative positioned element or the difference between padding and margin.
There are plenty of youtube series and the like, they just require the investment of time.
- spapas82 8y agoMost of these things (absolute, fixed, relative and static layouts or padding/margin/border and the boxing model) I know. The problem (I think) is that I can't get the full picture. As you say, I want to avoid tweaking things and using trial and error to fix things :/ Formally learning CSS as you propose is a path that is time-consuming but with high success probability so I may try it. Could you recommend me anything for that path? I'd really prefer reading instead of watching videos.
- volandovengo 8y agoWould recommend going through Shay Howe's course. He covers the subtleties well. https://learn.shayhowe.com/ https://learn.shayhowe.com/

- shay-howe 8y agoLet me know if you have any questions too, I'm always happy to help!
- spapas82 8y agoHello Shay, thank you very much! The content on your site is excellent; I have read the Course 101 and already feel much more confident on my CSS skills (and especially the really confusing things like floats and positioning). Really great work!
- shay-howe 8y agoThanks, I really appreciate it and that's great to hear!
