In this article, we will learn how to create a two-column layout using flexbox. To create the two-column layout, we use display and flex-direction properties. 

Approach: To create a two-column layout, first we create a <div> element with property display: flex, it makes that a div flexbox and then add flex-direction: row, to make the layout column-wise. Then add the required div inside the above div with require width and they all will come as columns. In the case of a two-column layout, we add two divs inside the parent div.

Syntax:

<div style=" display: flex; flex-direction: row; " ></div>

Example 1: A two-column layout with both columns having equal width.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <title>Two Column Layout</title>
  
    <style>
        .body {
            padding: 0;
            margin: 0;
        }
  
        .Parent {
            display: flex;
            flex-direction: row;
        }
  
        .child1 {
            width: 50%;
            height: 100vh;
            background-color: green;
            text-align: right;
            color: white;
        }
  
        .child2 {
            width: 50%;
            color: green;
            height: 100vh;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <div class="Parent">
        <div class="child1">
            <h1>Geeksfo</h1>
            <center>
                <h1>Left</h1>
            </center>
        </div>
        <div class="child2">
            <h1>rgeeks</h1>
            <center>
                <h1>RIGHT</h1>
            </center>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
  
</html>
