How to Vertically Align Text in a Column Next to an Image with Bootstrap 5

When creating a visually appealing web layout, one common challenge is how to vertically align text in a column next to an image. Bootstrap 5, with its robust grid system and utility classes, provides a great opportunity to solve this problem, particularly if you're using a layout that consists of images on one side and text on the other.

In this guide, we will walk through the steps to achieve vertical text alignment using Bootstrap 5. Let’s dive into the details!

Understanding the Layout

Consider the layout you want, where there are images on the left and accompanying text on the right.

The grid setup typically consists of two main columns: one for the image and the other for the text.

You might want the text to be vertically centered in relation to the image for a more polished look, especially if there's a significant height difference between the content.

The Default Structure

Here's a standard way to structure your code:

The Issue

The problem arises when you want the text (like h2 and p) to align vertically with the image in the adjacent column. Simply using the grid classes won't suffice if we want the text to stay centered dynamically as the height of the content varies.

Implementing Vertical Alignment

To achieve the desired vertical alignment of your text next to an image, you can leverage Bootstrap's d-flex class. This will turn the column into a flex container, allowing for versatile alignment options.

Adjusting the Code

Here's a refined version of the code using Bootstrap 5's flex utilities:

Breakdown of the Changes

d-flex: This utility class enables flexbox on the column, allowing its child elements to be laid out according to the flexbox model.

flex-column: This additional class tells the flex container to align its children in a vertical column.

justify-content-center: This class centers the text vertically within the column, ensuring that the header and paragraph are positioned in the middle relative to the image.

Conclusion

Using Bootstrap 5's grid and flex utilities allows you to create clean, visually appealing layouts with ease. By following the techniques outlined above, you can ensure your text aligns neatly next to your images, enhancing the overall user experience on your website.

Feel free to experiment with the alignment options to see which situation works best for your specific design needs, and enjoy building responsive layouts with Bootstrap!
