Bootstrap Grid Example: Small Devices
Assume we have a simple layout with two columns. We want the columns to be split 25%/75% for small devices.

Tip: Small devices are defined as having a screen width from 768 pixels to 991 pixels.

For small devices we will use the .col-sm-* classes.

We will add the following classes to our two columns:

<div class="col-sm-3">....</div>
<div class="col-sm-9">....</div>
Now Bootstrap is going to say "at the small size, look for classes with -sm- in them and use those".

The following example will result in a 25%/75% split on small (and medium and large) devices. On extra small devices, it will automatically stack (100%):

col-sm-3
col-sm-9
Example
<div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-3" style="background-color:yellow;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-9" style="background-color:pink;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
»
Note: Make sure that the sum always adds up to 12.

For a 33.3%/66.6% split, you would use .col-sm-4 and .col-sm-8:

col-sm-4
col-sm-8
Example
<div class="container-fluid">
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:yellow;">
      <p>Lorem ipsum...</p>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-8" style="background-color:pink;">
      <p>Sed ut perspiciatis...</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

The next chapter shows how to add a different split percent for medium devices.
