Last Updated : 30 Jan, 2024

In this article, we are going to create a profile card from where a user can check out the basic details of other users and connect with them through different handles as well as message the user.

Approach:

Set up HTML with a container div containing an image and content sections.
Style the container, user image, and content sections with appropriate colors, fonts, and sizes.
Integrate Font Awesome icons for social media links (Facebook, GitHub, LinkedIn, Instagram).
Implement hover effects on social media links for visual feedback, changing color and scale.
Create a styled messaging link within the content section using a gradient background.
Ensure responsiveness with flexible width, font scaling, and image adjustments for a seamless profile card on various devices.

Example: In this example, we will see how to create Responsive Profile Card using HTML and CSS.

CSS Code: CSS is used to give different types of animations and effects to our HTML page so that it looks interactive to all users.

In CSS, we have to remind the following points-

Restore all the browser effects.
Use classes and ids to give effects to HTML elements.
Use of the nth-child selector feature of CSS to call different links.
