Main-content is all off?

While following along, my layout doesn't not preform the same a Guil's. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, perhaps a typo I've over looked?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Poly</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/base.css">

<body>

    <div class="container">

        <!-- start header   -->
        <header class="main-header">
            <a class="site-logo" href="#">
                <img src="img/logo.svg" alt="polu ui toolkit">
            </a>
            <ul class="nav">

        <!-- end header -->

Hi Devon,

You were nearly there. You missed 2 small rules inside the media query.

Where you wrote:

.nav {
        margin: 3em;
    }

It should have been: 

.nav {
      margin-top: 3em;
      flex-direction: row;
      justify-content: space-between;
    }
