why doesn't opening index.html display proper webpage

[grotesque]

it seems the css isn't loading. Is it not suppose to display proper demo after opening index.html?

[kalwok1]

using text editor, open all .html files and replace "/ with "

/css/root.css
should be
css/root.css

the / is causing error

Exactly what I wanted to ask, isn't the best practice is to use relative path?
If so, why you don't change it

I had to remove many of the back slashes to view off line. For example in the index.html file

remove the back slash in front of src="/images/phone.svg" so it will look like this src="images/phone.svg"

I am just a beginner so I am not sure what this will mean later on but to view off line and test the responsiveness and the code this worked for me. I removed many back slashes including in front of all the css links and all the images. Hope this helps.
