How can I center content on a page but also have a navigation bar floating to the left?-CodePudding

Currently I have them both in a Flexbox with space-between and a 25% margin to the right of the content. It's a bit too hacky and doesn't work well with different sized windows

I also want the navbar to be sticky.

Please try this method and give response. its better to use css grid for page responsiveness.
