Last Updated : 12 Apr, 2024

In Bootstrap, creating a column layout is important for organizing content into a structured grid system. A four-column layout allows for efficient arrangement of content, such as displaying courses, products, or services, with flexibility in responsiveness for various screen sizes.

Below are the approaches to create a four-column layout with bootstrap:

Using FlexBox

Using Grid Classes

In this approach, we are using Bootstrap's Grid Classes to create a four-column layout. Each column is defined using the col-sm class, and the gx-0 class is used to remove the gutter (space) between columns. The content of each column is styled using Bootstrap's utility classes for background color (bg-primary, bg-secondary, bg-success, bg-danger) and text color (text-white).

Example: The below example uses Grid Classes to Create a Four-Column Layout with Bootstrap.

Using FlexBox Classes

In this approach, we are using Bootstrap's Flexbox utility classes like d-flex, flex-wrap, and justify-content-center to create a four-column layout. Each column is defined as a flex item with the flex-fill class, allowing them to expand to fill the available space evenly. The m-2 class adds a margin around each column for spacing.
