This lesson

This lesson teaches Tiles and level—the ideas, syntax, and habits you need before moving on in Bulma.

Bulma offers a lighter component model when Bootstrap feels too heavy or dated.

You will apply Tiles and level in contexts like: Smaller marketing sites, internal dashboards, and projects that need quick responsive layout with minimal JS.

Read the lesson, edit HTML/CSS in the playground, press Run to preview, then answer the lesson MCQs.

When the previous lesson's MCQs feel easy and you can explain Tiles and level in your own words.

Tiles compose nested flex grids for dashboards and card matrices. Level aligns items horizontally (like a toolbar or stat row) with optional vertical centering—both are flexbox abstractions beyond basic columns.

Tiles structure

  • tile is-ancestor — outer wrapper for a tile group
  • tile is-parent — row of child tiles
  • tile is-child — leaf tile; add is-4, is-6, etc. for proportional width

Level structure

  • level — horizontal flex bar
  • level-left / level-right — group items to each side
  • level-item — centered content within a level section

Use level for nav toolbars and metadata rows; use tile when you need a Pinterest-style or admin dashboard grid without raw flex CSS.

Important interview questions and answers

  1. Q: Tiles vs columns?
    A: Columns are the default page grid; tiles add nested proportional layouts optimized for card dashboards and multi-row compositions.
  2. Q: When prefer level over is-flex?
    A: level bakes in horizontal distribution and vertical centering patterns common to headers and stat bars—less markup than hand-rolling flex utilities.

Self-check

  1. Name the three tile roles in a nested tile layout.
  2. What Bulma class groups items on the left and right of a horizontal bar?
