Could anyone give me advice on how to center and align objects in a more responsive-friendly way? I would like to understand how to use more percentages to create designs that will look good and scale to the desired screen size via percentages, not just specific @media values.
Would love any tips you might have :)
Hi Zach, Congratulations on completing the design. Looks Great!
Based on your questions,
You are using display properties to center. which is easiest/correct way to center an box. Learn more about how other elements/boxes behave when a display property added.
You can avoid scrolling behaviour by adding a Relative length units to a parent element.(eg: Box containing the background)
Try to avoid using fixed values for heights and widths. Research on Relative length units that you can use in css, There is a lot of them. "ch" is better for the card's content. You can try them and see what works best for the design. You might not need fixed widths and margins in your container.
Make your design responsive as much as you can without any breakpoints. Breakpoints are as the named suggests used when design breaks. For most challenges you can use combination of flex and grid. To better understand this, Watch “Designing Intrinsic Layouts” by Jen Simmons for more information.
Use semantic HTML as much as you can. It will help in accessibility, and make your code more readable when selecting styles.

What do you guys think about the responsiveness? What do you think about the visual aspect of the page? does it look good? What are some practices that you think can be improved?
Hi Richardo,
Congratulations on completing the design..
You can give background-color to a parent element that has the full width of the page. Easy fix there.
Just make sure to check issues mentioned in report after submission. Basically saying Using Section Heading elements at least once. (H1-H6 in any title of a page/component). Also using correct semantic landmark regions to separate your html structure. header, main, footer etc.
