    Hi there Khushi, good job on the project.

    • I noticed you used the with property in the body element and set it to 100%. In my experience and advice from experts, it's usually not necessary and everything works if it's omitted completely. It also adds the scroll effect even on a page that it is not necessary at all.

    • Also, didn't the justify-content: center; work or why did you comment it out? I think it would have centered the card element. If you were being adventurous then its okay. Just wanted to know.

    • I missed the background color/colour of the body too, lol! Not sure where I went wrong but will look at it later.

    • Also, when I submitted my solution, I was pushed to correct on accessibility by using HTML5 landmarks like header, main, footer, etc.

    Hi! Good job.

    Here are some things that need to be improved. Please don't be disheartened - we all start somewhere :)

    HTML:

    • Every webpage needs a <main> that wraps all of the content, except for <header> and footer>. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify a page's "main" section. Wrap the card in a <main>.

    • The alt text must also say where it leads(the frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."

    • Headings should always be in order, so you never start with a <h3>.As the card heading would likely not be the main heading on a page, I would change it to a <h2>.

    • .attribution should be a <footer>, and you should use <p> for the text inside.

    CSS:

    • It is best practice to write CSS in a separate file, often called style.css. Create one in the same folder as the index.html, and link to it in the <head>: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">.

    • Including a CSS Reset at the top of the stylesheet is good practice.

    • Use the style guide to find the correct background-color.

    • I like to add 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

    • You don't need width: 100% on the body - it is a block element, meaning it takes up the full width by default.

    • On the body, change height to min-height: 100svh - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport.

    • On body, uncomment justify-content: center.

    • On body, add gap: 2rem, to create some space between the main and the footer.

    • Remove the margin on the card.

    • Remove all widths and heights. Fixed sizes set in px are not recommended.

    • Add a max-width of around 20rem on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens.

    • font-size must never be in px. This is a big accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead.

    • Since all of the text should be centered, you only need to set text-align: center on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value.

    • On the image, add display: block and max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.

    • I would make the corners of the image the same as the card:border-radius: 20px.

    • Remove position: fixed on the footer.
