So I’m building my first site, and I’m finding that the page looks really bad when I resize the browser window. I haven’t used any absolute values except for a SNS follow button down the bottom of the page.

I’d like to make the side menu disappear when you resize the window so the quiz section doesn’t get completely squashed. How could I go about doing this? I’m guessing that absolute is not the only thing that can make a website look bad on resizing the window, but what other considerations do you all recommend I consider?

Also, I’ve created space on the left and right sides for future advertising using padding. Is this standard practice?

.whole_doc_edit {
  padding-left: 260px;
  padding-right: 260px;
  background-color: aliceblue;
}

img {
  width:150px;
}

.quiz_space {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row-reverse;
  border: 5px solid #555;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  padding-left: 15px;
}

.instructions {
  padding-top: 20px;
  padding-bottom: 10px;
}

.side_menu {
  display: flex;
  list-style: none;
  flex-direction: column;
  border: solid, 3px;
  color:#f1f1f1;
  
}

.quiz_space__content {
  flex-grow: 1;
  padding-right: 5px;
}

.side_heading { 
  color:#f9f9f9;
  padding: 14px 16px;
  padding-left: 20px;
  padding-top: 5px;
  border: solid, 2px #f1f1f1;
}

.advert_space {
  padding-left: 200px;
  padding-right: 200px;
  padding-bottom: 200px;
}

.side_menu_container {
  background-color: #333;
  border: #333 3px;
  max-width: 250px;

I think you should use @media to adjust the sidebar. With it, you can make it so mobile, tablet, and computer users would see a different screen.

You can use the CSS media rule- in below example, if the screen width becomes less than 600px, the side menu might disappear.
```
 @media (max-width: 600px) {
  .side_menu_container {
    display: none;
  }
}
```
I’d recommend looking more into the @media rule! (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.php)
