Float utilities move an element to the start or end of its container so text wraps around it, at any breakpoint (float-md-end) or not at all (float-none). Wrap floats in a clearfix parent so the container keeps its height. For layouts, prefer flex; floats shine for images in articles.
1Float start and end
float-start and float-end move an element to a side; clearfix on the parent contains them.
float-startfloat-end<div class="clearfix bg-body-tertiary rounded-3 p-2">
<div class="bg-primary-subtle border border-primary-subtle rounded-2 p-2 text-center float-start">
<code class="small">float-start</code>
</div>
<div class="bg-primary-subtle border border-primary-subtle rounded-2 p-2 text-center float-end">
<code class="small">float-end</code>
</div>
</div>2Text wrapping an image
A floated image with a margin lets the paragraph flow around it.
Every project starts with a workshop, so we understand your audience before we design. Clear prices, honest advice and no surprises along the way. From logo to launch campaign, everything is designed to work together. Every detail is handled by people who care about getting it right.
We listen first, then build a plan around what you actually need. Small teams, short feedback loops and no handoffs lost in translation. Fixed prices and weekly demos keep you in control from start to finish. We test early with real users, so the final design works on the first day.
