The main header and main content is not at the page center

I follow the code instructions but the cannot center the whole page, except only main footer. I'll post the style.css and index.html below

STYLE.CSS

/* ================================= Base Element Styles ==================================== */

body { line-height: 1.6; color: #3a3a3a; } h1 { margin: 0; } a { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; }

/* ================================= Base Layout Styles ==================================== / / ---- Navigation ---- */ .name { margin: 0; }

/* ---- Layout Containers ---- */ .containder { width: 70%; margin: 0 auto; } .main-header { background: #3acec2; padding: 1em 0; }

.main-footer { text-align: center; padding: 2em 0; background: #d9e4ea; }

/* ---- Page Elements ---- */

INDEX.HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Best City Guide</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css"> </head>

<body>

<header class="main-header"> <div class="container"> <h1 class="name"><a href="#">Best City Guide</a></h1> <ul class="main-nav"> <li><a href="#">ice cream</a></li> <li><a href="#">donuts</a></li> <li><a href="#">tea</a></li> <li><a href="#">coffee</a></li> </ul> </div> </header>

<div class="container"> <h2>Welcome!</h2> <p>Everything in this city is worth waiting in line for.</p> <p>Cupcake ipsum dolor sit. Amet chocolate cake gummies jelly beans candy bonbon brownie candy. Gingerbread powder muffin. Icing cotton candy. Croissant icing pie ice cream brownie I love cheesecake cookie.

Hey Hai, the issue is that in your CSS file under Layout Containers you are attempting to style the class ".containder". It is just a simple spelling error, as it should be ".container". Hope this helps!
