In addition to the advice already given:
HTML:
-
The alt text should be written naturally, without using
-
between the words. 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.io). -
Do not use
<br>
to force text onto a new line. The text should flow naturally, and all styling, including space between elements, should be done in the CSS. -
Remove
.attribution
if you're not going to include it. If you do, it should be a<footer>
, and its text should be wrapped in a<p>
.
CSS:
-
It's good practice to include a CSS Reset at the top.
-
Add around
1rem
ofpadding
on thebody
, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens. -
On the
body
, changeheight
tomin-height
- this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport. -
Remove all of the widths.
-
Add a
max-width
of around20rem
on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens. -
font-size
must never be in px. This is bad for accessibility, 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.

Hello @NeilNeel!
Your solution looks great!
I have a couple of suggestions (about semantic HTML) for improvement:
📌 First: Use
<main>
to wrap the main content instead of<div>
.Think of
<div>
and<span>
in HTML like plain boxes or placeholders. They're handy for holding content, but they don't tell us anything about what's inside or what it's meant for on the webpage.📌 Second: Use
<h1>
for the main title instead of<p>
.The tag
<p>
is meant for paragraphs. For titles, we have the HTML headings (the tags<h1>
to<h6>
).Here's a quick guide on how to use them:
Unlike what most people think, it's not just about the size and weight of the text.
- The
<h1>
to<h6>
tags are used to define HTML headings. <h1>
defines the most important heading.<h6>
defines the least important heading.- Only use one
<h1>
per page - this should represent the main heading/title for the whole page. And don't skip heading levels - start with<h1>
, then use<h2>
, and so on.
All these tag changes may have little or any visual impact but they make your HTML code more semantic and improve SEO optimization as well as the accessibility of your project.
I hope it helps!
Other than that, great job!
