Congratulations on completing the challenge! πŸŽ‰

  • To make it mobile responsive it is important to first understand how different breakpoints work with the media queries, which breakpoints to target etc.

  • For example, If you want to make the body blue @600px then you also need to decide whether the body remains blue on 600px and up screens or 600px and down screens. If you decide to maintain a blue background for 600px and up screens you'd use @media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {...} and @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {...} for the opposite scenario. And lets say @500px you want a red background and @700px you need a yellow background, then you need to follow the same drill.

  • You may want to add indentations and format the your code to improve readability.

In my projects:

  • I always start with mobile-first workflow.
  • I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body>
<main>
All content 
</main>
</body>
  • I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

  • If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project. Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals and then move on to any framework or library.

  • I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! πŸ™Œ To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:

πŸ“šπŸ” 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.

πŸ“šπŸ” 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with important topics like block and inline elements, HTML Semantic Elements.

I hope you find these resources helpful in your coding adventures! 🀞

I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! πŸš€πŸ’»

Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! πŸ’ͺ✨

Hello there πŸ‘‹. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! πŸŽ‰

  • I have other recommendations regarding your code that I believe will be of great interest to you.

OVERFLOW ISSUE πŸ”΄ :

  • You have added overflow: hidden for body, using this rule will severly affect the responsiveness of your site.
  • This will cause cutting of the component on smaller screens like mobile phones on landscape orientation, and for tablets and desktops though.
  • Remove the overflow: hidden from body to make this solution more responsive.

.

I hope you find this helpful πŸ˜„ Above all, the solution you submitted is great !

Happy coding!
