  HTML:

  • Every webpage needs a <main> that wraps all of the content, except for <header> and footer>. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify a page's "main" content. Wrap the card in a <main>.

  • Remove the inline styles on the image - while the HTML is responsible for the content and structure, its visual appearance belongs in the CSS.

  • "Improve your" is a heading. I would make it a <h2> - a page should only have one <h1>, reserved for the main heading. As this is a card heading, it would likely not be the main heading on a page with several components.

  • .attribution should be a <footer>, and you should use <p> for the text inside.

  CSS:

  • Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.

  • box-sizing: border-box; should be set on all elements, using the universal selector *:

  *,
  *::before,
  *::after {
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }
  

  • I recommend adding a bit of padding, for example 16px, on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • height: fit-content on the card is not needed.

  • Remove the width in px on the card. We rarely want to give a component a fixed size, as we need it to grow and shrink according to the screen size.

  • We do want to limit the width of the card, so it doesn't get too wide on larger screens. To solve this issue, give the card a max-width of around 20rem.

  • 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.

  • Likewise, set the font-family on the body and remove it elsewhere.

  • Paragraphs have a default value of font-weight: 400, so there is no need to declare it.

  • On the image, add display: block, height: auto and max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. Without this, an image would overflow if its intrinsic size is wider than the container. max-width: 100% makes the image shrink to fit inside its container.

  • I would increase the padding on the card to around 16px.
