Design comparison
Solution retrospective
I successfully implemented a responsive design using media queries. The layout adjusts seamlessly between mobile and desktop versions, providing an optimal user experience on various devices. I used Flexbox to align elements effectively, making the layout flexible and easy to manage across different screen sizes. I added a hover effect to the "Add to cart" button, which improves user interactivity and makes the UI feel more dynamic.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?One challenge was handling image sizes for different screen resolutions. Although I used the element to load different images for mobile and desktop, I’m still exploring how to optimize image loading for better performance (e.g., using WebP format).
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?Explore more advanced CSS techniques like CSS Grid for layout control in complex designs, which could give me even more flexibility compared to Flexbox alone.

Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

While
px
is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-width
,border-radius
,inline-padding
, and<img>
sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, usingpx
for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units likerem
and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepx
where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel. -
Using
rem
orem
units in@media
queries is better thanpx
because they are relative units that adapt to user settings, like their preferred font size. This makes your design more responsive and accessible, ensuring it looks good on different devices and respects user preferences. -
I think you can benefit from using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,
You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟
