        By default, columns are only activated from <strong>tablet</strong> onwards. This means columns are stacked on top of each other on <strong>mobile</strong>.
        <br>
        If you want columns to work on <strong>mobile too</strong>, just add the <code>is-mobile</code> modifier on the <code>columns</code> container:
