Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

  • Using position: absolute is not always best practice because it removes elements from the normal document flow, making layouts harder to manage and potentially causing overlap or misalignment on different screen sizes. Instead, use flexible layout techniques like CSS Grid or Flexbox for more responsive and maintainable designs.
  • Using margin-inline: auto is better than margin: auto for centering elements horizontally because it is more precise. To center an element, set its width and apply margin-inline: auto; this will center it within its container., You can center the height by using this code snippet
  min-height: 100svh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-direction: column;
  • This does not matter that much at this stage but something to be mindful of for SEO(Search Engine Optimisation), <meta> description tag missing that helps search engine determine what the page is about, Something like this <meta name="description" content="" />

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

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! 🌟

Good job! If I had to make some suggestions, it would to use a main tag instead of the "main-container" class as this would be using more semantic HTML. And one more tip that I was given was to not use position: absolute as it can make layout harder to manage. The solution that someone gave me is:

body {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
}

main {
    width: auto;
    height: auto;
    display: inline-block;
    margin-inline: auto;
}

margin-inlin: auto; is more precise.

Hope that helps. Happy learning!
