MODERATORS
if they're using class="card" then they're likely using something like bootstrap in which the CSS is largely handled for you anyway
I have class names like that and I don't use any framework
Fun fact, people often use css frameworks as a starting point and override a lot of built in classes to add their own look.
Although it has lead to every website have that 2/3/4 column look for about 10 years at least. Widescreen monitors have 50% of the space wasted,
I think it was Grid that started it, had 12 columns you could divvy up with a load of weird classes, and then a version of grid got added to the CSS standard instead so now it's just there.
You can still make CSS from scratch, but I can see why a beginner would go with Bootstrap or whatever.
