Columns
Columns take your design and divide it into vertical groups, making it responsive. When they are created, gutters are also created. The gutters add 15px on each side of the column. Bootstrap divides a row into 12 columns.
Columns Layout
To divide the element into columns, add “col-SIZE-SPAN” in that element within the row div. The contents of the code are as follow:
- col: Key word
- Size: Specifies size w.r.t breakpoints
- Span: Specifies the number of column
Size of Columns
Bootstrap provides 4 different column sizes based on breakpoints that are used for different screen sizes:
- col-xs = For extra small devices
- col-sm = For small devices
- col-md = For medium devices
- col-lg = For large devices
Note: Layout changes to full width on the change of the breakpoints.[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” marginless_columns=”true” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column_inner fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][lightbox selector=”.x-img-link” opacity=”0.875″ prev_scale=”0.75″ prev_opacity=”0.75″ next_scale=”0.75″ next_opacity=”0.75″][image link=”true” info=”tooltip” info_place=”bottom” info_trigger=”hover” src=”8702″ alt=”” href=”http://blog.hfarazm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/column-breakpoints.jpg” title=”Column-Breakpoints” info_content=”http://blog.hfarazm.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/column-breakpoints.jpg” lightbox_thumb=”8702″ lightbox_caption=”” id=”” class=”.x-img-link” style=””][text_output]

Multiple Column Classes
Multiple column classes can be used within a single div to adjust the contents of webpage w.r.t to different breakpoints.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” marginless_columns=”true” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″][text_output]
Offset columns:
Offset shifts content to the right side, leaving specified number of columns on left side of the webpage.
The following example shows multiple and offset column classes:[/text_output][text_output]

- “sg-col” is the custom class for external CSS
Line 34: Multiple column classes are used.
- “col-sm-6” changes the layout to 2 columns (6*2 = 12), each of 6 column width for device size >= 768px.
- “col-md-4” changes the layout to 3 columns (3*4=12) , each of 4 column width for device size >= 992px.
- “col-lg-3” changes the layout to 4 columns (4*3=12) , each of 3 column width for device size >= 1200px.
- “col-mul” is for external CSS.
Line 44: Bootstrap helper class to remove styles of parent div.
Line 47: “col-xs-offset-3” offset 3 columns from left for device size < 750px and shifts contents to the right.[/text_output][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row no_margin=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” marginless_columns=”true” bg_video=”” class=”” style=””][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1/1″ id=”helper-classes” class=”” style=””][text_output]
