What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I was able to write most of the HTML and CSS without using AI tools and google for reference, so I'm really proud of myself for that.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I had some problems importing the right font for the project. The one I managed to import was slightly different from the one used in the design.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I would like to see other techniques I can use to import fonts.

It's best practice linking Google fonts directly in the HTML head section rather than directly in your CSS file as it enables asynchronous downloading, improving page load times. Like so

  <head>
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />
    <link
      href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Figtree:wght@600;800&display=swap"
      rel="stylesheet"
    />
  </head>

Nice one 😀,

If you want to learn more about applying fonts to your project I advice you to learn about @font-face. Here is a VIDEO about it.

Hope you found this comment helpful 💗

Good job and keep going 😁😊😉
