Slack is a cloud-based set of team collaboration tools and services, or in simpler terms, an online chat application.
We use Slack app almost every day to keep our communications with our classmates and the Ironhack team, but today we will be focusing on their landing page. In today's lab, we'll recreate Slack's landing page while ensuring it's responsive and adapts well to different screens. You can see the web page that we will be cloning here.
The goal of the lab is to create a responsive landing page using CSS and Flexbox.

The starter_code folder contains all the files you'll need. The images folder contains all the images you'll need for your page, although most of them are already displayed on the page.
The index.html already contains all the text and content needed. We will be focusing on the CSS and the styling!
During each iteration, the first step you should do is to inspect the provided screenshots. These are included in each iteration, along with a preview of the final result. Use these as a starting point for implementing your styles.
Mobile first right? 😉
We will start by focusing on the styles for mobile screens first! 📱 Oh! Remember to use Flexbox to create the layout and display the content in rows or columns from the start. You'll be working on adapting the layout to different screen sizes in the following iterations, so it's essential that you start using Flexbox from start to end!
When done, your page should look like this: Preview - Mobile

Let's start growing our screen size. Focus on small screens (iPads, tablets or bigger smartphones). Notice we have some changes. You need to work on the following ones:
- The header should go from 1 column to display 2 columns; one with the content and buttons and the other with the image.
- The company logos should be displayed in a single row
- The images in the sections in the main part should be fully displayed and aligned to the left or right side of the page, respectively.
- The section "Team large and small rely on Slack" should have the list items and the buttons displayed horizontally as rows.
- The subfooter items, previously displayed as a column, should now be displayed in a single row.
When done, your page should look like this: Preview - Small Screens
