Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…

Using a <main> tag inside the <body> of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content.

I think you can benefit from 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,

Icons dont need a alt tag so you can leave it empty alt="",

<img src="./images/icon-supervisor.svg" alt="Supervisor Icon">

While px is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such as border-width, border-radius, inline-padding, and <img> sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, using px for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units like rem and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Use px where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.

Using rem or em units in @media queries is better than px because they are relative units that adapt to user settings, like their preferred font size. This makes your design more responsive and accessible, ensuring it looks good on different devices and respects user preferences.

For future project, You could download and host your own fonts using @font-face improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable.
