Design a Layered Image Page Template using HTML and CSS

Last Updated : 20 Dec, 2023

The article provides a complete guide for creating a layered image layout using HTML and CSS. The Layered Image Page refers to a webpage design that contains layered structured visual elements using images. Here, the design contains two boxes with background images and some empty rounded boxes with borders to make the page more beautiful. The CSS property position with value absolute and background images gives the web page a layered effect. We will be stacking multiple images on top of each other.

Approach

The <body> element contains the content of the HTML document. Div having class gfg displays the text “GeeksforGeeks” at the top of the page, The element div with class .parent_box acts as the parent container for the layered boxes, using flexbox for alignment.
The element div with class .text contains the information about graphic design with a hover effect that scales the text.
The element div with class .box-container wrapped individual boxes representing layered images.
The boxes have property positions with value absolute and use left, and top properties to arrange themselves to make the look of a layered image with the hover effect.

Example: The below example illustrates the Layered Image layout template using HTML & CSS.
