I've set up my code using flex so that it works responsively (it's looking how I'd like on devices sub 960 in width so any changes to desktop happen within the css query at the bottom of my CSS file). potentially a very simple question but on views wider than 960 the 8 tiles aren't a consistent width (one .row containing 4 .tiles) - I tried adding a width of 25% which I thought would make them always evenly span the width of the page but that didn't work. Within that the .content (expanding content) seems to extend further that the row to the right which I cant understand?
any ideas would be really appreciated!

any advice would appreciated!

Your problem (when you try width: 25% on tiles) is that 100% is calculated without taking into account the border and the padding.
.tile has a border of 1px, so 25% * 4 + 8 * 1px is more than 100%..content has a border of 1px, and a padding of 20px, so 100% + 2 * 1px + 2 * 20px is more than 100%.To solve the issue you can just change the way your box is calculated by including the border and the padding when you assign the width:
.tile, .content {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.tile {
width: 25%;
}
You can learn more about box-sizing and its values on the MDN documentation page.
