Hey, Great job with this solution you should be proud, A few things I noticed,

  • Missing a <meta> description tag for SEO purposes,
  • Setting a height and width attribute to your <img> will increase performance to reduce layout shifts and improve CLS, It reserves the space on the page for the image,
  • Background and foreground colours do not have a sufficient contrast ratio, Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. Check out this Discover and fix low-contrast text with Chrome DevTools,
  • Figtree semi-bold failed to load, Take a look and try to figure out what causing this, This is also more than likely effecting your contrast ratio,
  • ‍Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% is way more responsive then just width:100%, check out this article also from the same Frontend mentor dev responsive-meaning, she goes into more detail.
  • You should avoid using px as it is an absolute unit and not a responsive unit like rem or em, You should look at this article from a Frontend mentor dev, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels.
  • Another great resource for px to rem converter.
  • You should add a font-display: swap; property to your @font-face, Leverage the font-display CSS feature to ensure that text is user-visible while web fonts are loading, Increasing performance.
  • Having better alt="" descriptions for accessibility is a must check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,
  • You should apply a full modern reset to make things easier as you build, check out this site for a Full modern reset
  • You should avoid using position: absolute; because it brings the elements out of the flow, This can cause some unexpected issues with screen sizes.
  • It is best practice to use margin-inline: auto; to center left and right then than just margin: auto;, You can center the height by using this code snippet
  min-height: 100svh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-direction: column;

I hope you found some of this information helpful, You should give the articles a good read and I look forward to seeing some more from you, Happy coding! 💻
