Hello @Eugeneycchoy!

Your project looks great!

I have one suggestion for you to improve it even more:

  • Using margin is not the best option to center an element. Here's a very efficient (and better) way to place an element in the middle of the page both vertically and horizontally:

πŸ“Œ Apply this to the body (in order to work properly, don't use position or margins):

body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;  /* it works with grid too  */
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

I hope it helps!

Other than that, great job!

Hello! @danielmrz-dev

Got it! will keep that in mind. Centering stuff with vanilla CSS wasn't as easy as I thought, I forgot that the body element could be a flex container itself, thanks for the tips and reminder!!!

Cheers!

Hello there πŸ‘‹ @Eugeneycchoy.

Good job on completing the challenge !

Your project looks really good!

I have a suggestion about your code that might interest you.

πŸ“ŒFirst: Consider adding a min-height of 100vh to the body element so as to centralize your project.

body { 
  min-height: 100vh;
  align-items: center;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

There is an very useful browser extension called Perfect Pixel that allow you compare with the design image and thus see the exact dimensions. I recommend it to you.

I hope this suggestion is useful for future projects.

Keep up the excellent work and continue to challenge yourself with new projects. Your progress is impressive, and each project is a step forward in your front-end development journey! πŸš€πŸŒŸ.

Other than that, great job!

Happy coding.
