A Poker Club Site Displaying a Set of Playing Cards

Screenshot of the project

A simple yet detailed web page that displays a full set of spade playing cards using semantic HTML and custom CSS styling.

It was built entirely with HTML and CSS as part of the freeCodeCamp.org CSS course.


Overview

This project recreates a page of playing cards using only HTML and CSS. Each card contains three distinct sections: a top-left label, a center symbol display, and a bottom-right label rotated to reflect a real deck layout.

The layout leverages Flexbox for wrapping and alignment, and uses Unicode symbols for card values, creating a clean and organized grid of styled cards.


Features

  • Custom layout for Ace through King (♠️ suit)
  • Centered Unicode symbols (♠, ♞, ♛, ♚) for realism
  • Top-left and bottom-right mirrored corners
  • Rotated text for authentic card appearance
  • Clean typography using Google Fonts
  • Responsive layout using Flexbox
  • Subtle box shadows and border radius for visual depth
