# Nesting columns

## A simple way to build responsive columns

You can nest columns to have more flexibility in your design. You only need to follow this structure:

- `columns`: top-level columns container
  - `column`
    - `columns`: nested columns
      - `column` and so on…

The difference with multiline columns is the order in the HTML code: all the blue columns appear before the red ones. Resize to a narrower viewport to see the result.

Multiline columns will also have a gap between each line.
