The theme leverages Bootstrap 5 for responsive design:

Navigation System

<!-- Responsive navbar with brand and navigation -->
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
    <div class="container">
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">Zer0-Mistakes News</a>
        <button class="navbar-toggler" data-bs-toggle="collapse">
            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
        </button>
    </div>
</nav>

Card Layouts

News articles display as responsive cards:

<!-- Bootstrap card for articles -->
<div class="card h-100">
    <img src="" class="card-img-top" alt="">
    <div class="card-body">
        <h5 class="card-title"></h5>
        <p class="card-text"></p>
        <a href="" class="btn btn-primary">Read More</a>
    </div>
</div>
