I would overlay another flex grouping with two divs that have a width of 50%.

13,443 PointsHi Eslam,
I would personally use CSS Flexbox (link to a guide by CSS-Tricks) and make 3 columns of equal width. Then, I would only put content in the first two columns.
Let me know if you need any help coding it up.

Courses Plus Student 6,734 PointsHello Ray thank you so much for your answer, so is it okay to leave an empty div for the last column ?
Ray Karyshyn
13,443 PointsYes, that is totally okay! In fact many pure CSS drawings use empty divs.
