I've tried using a flexbox row container to align them and it does not work, I've tried setting them both to float left and right, respectively. Ideally, I would want the picture on the left and the list on the right but no matter what I try either the list ends up off the page/unaligned or the image just doesn't show up if I put it to float.

Answer 1

You can wrap your content in a .wrapper class, and apply flexbox to it, and group your two sections into divs. Something like this:

body { background-color: #3799DF;
    color:#1B78BB;
        font-family: Arial;
        margin: 0; color: white; }

.wrapper {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
}

<div id="wrapper">
<main>
<div>
  <div class="wrapper">
    <div id="homeimg">
      <img src="https://images.pexels.com/photos/36717/amazing-animal-beautiful-beautifull.jpg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&dpr=1&w=500" />
    </div>

Answer 2

so I would start with making sure that I understand css flexbox properly. By this I mean reading those articles:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_flexible_box_layout/Basic_concepts_of_flexbox

https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

And later on I would try to implement flexbox in similar fashion to the snippet below. You are on the right track, just keep on going :)

.flex {
  display: flex;
}

.flex-row {
  flex-direction: row;
}

.justify-between {
  justify-content: space-between;
}

.w-full {
  width: 100%;
}

.bg-red {
  background-color: red;
}

.bg-blue {
  background-color: blue;
}

.bg-yellow {
  background-color: yellow;
}

<div class="flex flex-row justify-between w-full bg-yellow">
  <ul class="bg-red">
    <li>Leashes</li>
    <li>Collars</li>
    <li>Toys</li>
    <li>Treats</li>
    <li>Cages</li>
    <li>And more!</li>
  </ul>

  <div id="homeimg" class="bg-blue">
    There will be some img I guess.
  </div>
</div>
