Layout Example CSS - Float, Display, Clear, Overflow properties

Up until recently the main way that designers laid out their html web pages was using the float properties.
Although the float has now competition in terms of flexbox and grid, the float property along with it's cronies are essential to know for any web designer.
One thing that float is dependent on is the document flow. Generally float works from left to right and top to bottom. This means the html elements need to be laid out according to this flow. Otherwise we get different div sections showing up in the wrong places.
This tutorial starts with a wireframe diagram that shows what destination we are aiming for. It then moves through a step by step build up to a solid layout that has some responsiveness.
