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

I'm not particularly proud of any particular section of my code as I'm still far away from being proficient enough to be confident in css. But I hope that for the upcoming projects, my code will be clean and concise enough

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

The real challenges that I encounter was when I tried to combine margin and padding around the element in order to get the correct result. There is also git and github, topics I haven't touched upon before

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

Writing better and cleaner css code as to avoid repeated element calls

Good job with matching up visually with the exact solution, In your CSS try not to use px instead use rem or em but mostly you will use rem. You can use a PX to REM converter to make it easier for you. Using a responsive unit like REM will make your site more responsive for all screen sizes. Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% will always be better then just using a normal width: 100% and more responsive. Responsive Meaning is a good read by a Frontend-mentor dev to help you grasp the idea.

@Stroudy Thank you very much, I will definitely read the article and dive deeper into responsive design techniques, I'm still quite clueless about when to apply "min-width" and "max-width" in css too. I'm already starting to use "em" and "rem" when dealing with font-sizes, but should I also use them in padding and margin ?

@Joliot-TSIMISARAKA Yes I use rem for padding and margin because when you view it on different screen sizes it will scale proportionally. I thought I knew a lot about responsive web design turns out I did not, This is why i want to share this information with you :D

@Stroudy Thank you again ! Put simply, it's always better to use relative units when having responsive design in mind, I'll try integrating that practice from now onwards

Looks really good! Almost perfectly sized to fir the design!

I see you have issues on how to best deal with padding and margin. Now I'm no pro, but how I think about it is this:

Use padding for borders and styling e.g making an <a> look like a button.

-Use margin for layout stuff, like creating space between elements and centering.

@Gingerlox Really helpful tips ! I always tend to forget about the proper box model design when the borders and the paddings of the element are not that obvious.
