Columns

Bulma is based on Flexbox, so it’s really simple to create columns. First, we’re creating a container <div> with a class of columns, and then we give each of the children a class of column. Each column will have equal width, no matter the number of columns.

Hero

The hero component allows you to add a full-width banner to your webpage, which can optionally cover the full height of the page as well. To create a hero in Bulma. We’ll use the semantic <section>, and give it a class of hero. We also need to add a <div> child with the class hero-body.
