    Hey there! Great job completing your first challenge! 🎊

    I have some suggestions for your code that might interest you.

    HTML 📄:

    • Instead of using the <div> tag for your containers, try using some semantic HTML to provide more meaning to it, for better SEO. For example, instead of using <div> you could use the <main> or <section> tag. For the element with the classname attribution you could use the <footer> tag.
    • If an <img> like in this case the QR-code, leads to a website or links to someplace else, try to provide a more descriptive text of that in your ALT text, for example: QR code that leads to frontendmentor.io

    CSS 🎨:

    • To make your project more responsive and adaptable (in this case as well: especially when you start building bigger and bigger projects), I would suggest to use rem instead of px. This basically means that all sizing will be calculated in relation to the root element (rem). To set the standard font-size for the root element, you can provide a font-size inside the HTML element inside your CSS. For example: html {font-size: 15px;}.

    For more information on this topic, you can read the following article: PX or REM in CSS? 📘

    • To make your solution responsive for different devices and screen widths, you can create a media query inside your CSS file and set the breaking point (i.e. the moment your media query gets triggered based on the width of the viewport). For example: @media (max-width: 375px) { ***Place your CSS code here, just like you would in a regular CSS file***}.

    For more information on this topic, you can read the following article: Media queries 📘

    • An easy way to quickly and automatically center your <main> element inside the <body> of your page, is by setting the following properties onto the <body> element inside your CSS like so: body { min-height: 100vh; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: center; }

    I hope you find my suggestions useful, and above all: the solution you provided is very good!

    Keep it up and happy coding! 😃
