    </div>
</div>
<div class="div-outer">
    <div class="div-inner">

</div>

    <p>Vertical Align Center</p>
    </div>
</div>

You can tweak around with different colors of the boxes or texts. Have fun!

CSS

Copy the code below and paste into your CSS document. You need to make the same min-height and line-height on the outer part of the div. In my case, I have 200px.

.div-outer {
    min-height: 200px;
    line-height: 200px;
}
.div-inner {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    line-height: normal;
}

In case if this css isn’t working, you can try as below.

.div-outer {
    height: 80vh;
    position: relative;
}
.div-inner {margin: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    width: 100%;
}

You can tweak around with different colors of the boxes or texts. Have fun!
