Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…
-
Avoid using
idselectors for styling in CSS because they are too specific and hard to override, making your styles less flexible and maintainable. Instead, use class selectors (.), which are reusable and more manageable, allowing for better control over your styles and easier updates. -
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. -
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

While
pxis useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-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, usingpxfor 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 likeremandemadjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepxwhere 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
max-width: 100%ormin-width: 100%is more responsive than justwidth: 100%because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning.
You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟

@Stroudy thanks for advice, I redid the whole project using mostly classes and rem's/em's as dimensions, but now after changes there are some issues with text wrapping. Also the full modern css reset was really helpfull and surely I will keep using it in future projects cheers
