About the Unit
VW (Viewport Width): VW is a relative unit based on the width of the viewport (the visible area of the page in the browser). 1vw corresponds to 1% of the viewport width. This unit is extremely useful when you want to create designs that automatically adjust to the screen width, especially in responsive layouts. Using vw units allows you to set element widths that adapt fluidly to the screen size without the need for complicated media queries. For example, if you set an element's width to 50vw, it will occupy half of the screen width, regardless of the screen size or device resolution. This flexibility makes VW ideal for layouts that need to be adaptable, such as websites that work well on both mobile devices and desktops.
Pro Tip: vw → percentage
Use vw for full-width sections, % for relative layout sizing.
