Hey Doraly, I know we didn't have a chance to meet during office hours, so I wanted to see if I could be of some help anyway. I got your code from github and have some ideas:

• add normalize.css-link to read more about what that does (included the css file here)
• add a simple, responsive grid system. See this tutorial for explanation. I modified the @media breakpoint and included the css file here. this is what the grid system can accomplish:

demo.css

/*don't need spaces veritcally between rows, 
just added it so you could see the columns better*/

.row {
  margin: 15px 0;
}

#something-columned .h1,
#something-columned h2 {
  text-align: center;
  font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
}

#something-columned .h1 {
  font-size: 40px !important;
}

/*This just adds the color bgs, delete this! */

.column {
  background-color: #b84b59;
}

.column > div {
  margin: 1rem;
  background-color: #d5949c;
}

#intro .column:last-child {
  background-color: #8dcb8b;
}

#intro .column:last-child > div {
  background-color: #d2ebd1;
}

#something-columned .column:first-child {
  background-color: #f9ca75;
}

#something-columned .column:first-child > div {
  background-color: #fdf0d7;

#something-columned .column:last-child {
  background-color: #bddc56;
}

#something-columned .column:last-child > div {
