Hey, fantastic effort on this! You’re really nailing it. Just a few things I noticed that could make it even better…

  • Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% is more responsive than just width: 100% because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning.

  • Developers should avoid using pixels (px) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, use rem or em, which are relative units that adjust based on user settings, making your design more flexible, responsive, and accessible. For more information check out this, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels or this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained.- Another great resource for px to rem converter.

  • Having a clear and descriptive alt text for images is important because it helps people who use screen readers understand the content, making your site more accessible. It also improves SEO, as search engines use alt text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,

  • Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

  • Using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,

Great job taking the time to learn! Your efforts are paying off, and I hope these insights guide you to even more success. Keep pushing forward, and remember, you’ve got this! Enjoy your coding adventures! 💪

Applied the BEM naming convention throughout the code. This improves the clarity, organization, and maintainability of CSS. Using rem units instead of pixels which is a good practice as it provides better scalability and accessibility. Added focus styles.
