Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…
-
Avoid using
idselectors for styling in CSS because they are too specific and hard to override, making your styles less flexible and maintainable. Instead, use class selectors (.), which are reusable and more manageable, allowing for better control over your styles and easier updates. -
Using a
<main>tag inside the<body>of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content. -
These
<div>should really have semantic tags like headings (<h1> to <h6>) and paragraphs (<p>) convey structure and meaning to content, improving accessibility, SEO, and readability by helping search engines and screen readers interpret the content.
<div id="type_tag"><b>Learning</b></div>
-
Using
font-display: swapin your@font-facerule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear. -
While
pxis 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, usingpxfor 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 likeremand adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepxwhere 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. -
Line height is usually unitless to scale proportionally with the font size, keeping text readable across different devices. Best practice is to use a unitless value like
1.5for flexibility. Avoid using fixed units likepxor%, as they don't adapt well to changes in font size or layout.
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! 🌟
