Chapter 9: Pacific Trails Resort Case Study

Learn how to build a responsive, mobile-friendly HTML table step by step. In this tutorial, we create a “Yurt Packages” table for the Pacific Trails Resort website and style it with CSS so it looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile. You’ll see how to add semantic structure with table elements, use classes for styling, and apply captions for accessibility. Then we’ll make the table responsive with media queries, hide headers, and use ::before pseudo-elements as labels for smaller screens. Finally, we test the design in responsive mode to ensure readability and a polished user experience. This tutorial is part of the Pacific Trails Resort Case Study project in HTML and CSS.
