HTML:
-
Every webpage needs a
<main>
that wraps all of the content, except for<header>
andfooter>
. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify a page's "main" section. Wrap the card in a<main>
. -
The image has meaning, so it must have proper alt text. Write something short and descriptive, without including words like "image" or "photo". Screen readers start announcing images with "image", so an alt text of "image of qr code" would be read like this: "image, image of qr code". The alt text must also say where it leads(frontendmentor website).
-
Never have text in divs alone. "Improve your" is a
<h2>
and "Scan the QR code" is a<p>
. You don't need to wrap either in a<div>
.
CSS:
-
Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.
-
Use the style guide to find the correct
background-color
. -
Add around
1rem
ofpadding
on thebody
, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens. -
Move
font-family
andfont-size
from:root
tobody
. -
On the
body
, changeheight
tomin-height
- this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport. Remove thewidth
, as it is 100% wide by default. Changejustify-content
fromspace-around
tocenter
. -
Remove all widths in
%
andpx
. -
Add a
max-width
of around20rem
on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens. -
Remove
justify-content
from the card, it is not needed. -
font-size
must never be in px. This is a big accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead. -
Since all of the text should be centered, you only need to set
text-align: center
on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value. -
Paragraphs have a default value of
font-weight: 400
, so there is no need to declare it. -
On the image, add
display: block
andmax-width: 100%
- the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. -
As the design doesn't change, there is no need for any media queries. When you do need them, they should be in rem, not px. Also, it is common practice to do mobile styles first and use media queries for larger screens.
