what I found difficult was positioning the card to be aligned I the middle of the screen as display flex was not working.

the media query part of the code is what I'm unsure about my question would be on the media query, the transition from mobile to desktop is not smooth, how do I do that.

@mbaah13. You have to include your ** images folder ** to your github account. In CSS the perfect way you can center an element is set the display to flex , justify-content to center and also align-items to center. The Height is a key to this type of centering. Excluding it will not be perfectly centered. illustration:

height: 100vh;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<main>
<div class="container">
<div class="container-wrapper">
<img src="images/image-qr-code.png"/>
<div class="qr-info">

Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉

Welcome to the platform! 🎉 We're thrilled to have you here and excited to see your progress 💪as you continue your front-end development journey.

Looks like you did not push the image to the the github repo.
Yes, Its very important to understand key concepts like positioning, media query to properly render the elements on the page.

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(which you did). 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 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! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:

📚🔍 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.

📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with other topics.

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! 🚀💻

Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨
