What I am trying to do is get the flex container "row" in the "services" section to quite literally display as a row but for some reason it is displaying as a column. I'm not allowed to used to use flex grid for this(as a challenge) and I have tried putting it all in another tag to see if that would do anything but nothing seems to be working.

CodePudding user response：

Technically, the '.row' container is not a flex container, so setting the display to flex will automatically solve this problem

.row {
  display: flex;
}

Paste the code above in the css

You should also try refactoring your css, the code is a bit unorganized. For you and others to understand your code better, try using "consistent naming convention", add comments to your code, and style elements in the order of their appearance in the html. Or even more better, have different stylesheets for different components. This would improve your effeciency by .1% (at the least)!!

CodePudding user response：

It looks like you forgot to style your row class:

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-direciton: row;
}

CodePudding user response：

If you can't use flexbox, use css grid instead.

The old school way of doing things is use float: left on the divs and give width: 33.33333% to them. Or use display inline block with text-align center.

CodePudding user response：

Your question is somewhat confusing but if you mean the CONTENTS OF .row of profiles this should work: (If you mean the rows in the container .agents that is slightly different but perhaps you can build from this?)
