Hi @Igor, the end product looks great! Congratulations on your first submission.
However, a few things you might want to consider :
- Text below the Heading should be of the lighter color than it is now
- A bit less padding on the card would make it look closer the to design
- Instead of using generic
div
element to wrap the card, use a semantic tag likesection
ormain
. - It's always better to specify the
object-fit
property of animg
as well as making it'sdisplay
to something other than the defaultinline
value. - Leave the default attributions in the HTML for screen readers. Hide them using CSS.
Overall, it's a pretty decent effort! Happy coding!

Hi @IgorM867 ๐, good job completing this challenge, and welcome to the Frontend Mentor Community! ๐
I have some suggestions you might consider to improve your code:
- Use the
<main>
tag to wrap all the main content in your solution instead of using<div id="container">
.
- For specificity reasons you should work better with classes since they are reusable, and you can leave the ID when you work with Javascript.
- To make alternative texts more worthwhile, add descriptive text to the alt attribute of the QR image to explain what the QR image does. Upon scanning the QR code, you will be redirected to the frontendmentor.io website, so an example of alternative text would be "QR code to frontendmentor.io". You can read more about alternative text here.
- Instead of using pixels in font size, use relative units of measure like
rem
orem
. The font size in absolute length units (px) does not allow users with limited vision to change the text size in some browsers. Reference.
- Centering the element with position would make your element behave strangely on some mobile devices. You can use flexbox to center elements. You can read more about centering in CSS here.
Above all, the project is done well๐. I hope those tips will help you! ๐
Good job, and happy coding! ๐

๐พHi Igor, congratulations on your solution!๐ Welcome to the Frontend Mentor Coding Community!
Great solution and a great start! From what I saw youโre on the right track. Iโve few suggestions for you that you can consider adding to your code:
- Use
<main>
instead of a simple<div>
this way you improve the semantics and accessibility showing which is the main block of content on this page. Remember that every page should have a<main>
block and that<div>
doesn't have any semantic meaning. - Donโt use
id
to give the style of your elements, it's not a good idea becauseid
is a too specific selector used forforms
and Javascript code. Instead, useclass
for styling and let theid
for much specific stuff. It's also not advisable to use IDs as CSS selectors because if another element in the page uses the same/similar style, you would have to write the same CSS again. Even if you don't have more than one element with that style right now, it might come later. - Add a margin of around
margin: 20px
to avoid the card touching the screen edges while it scales down. - Use relative units as
rem
orem
instead ofpx
to improve your performance by resizing fonts between different screens and devices. These units are better to make your website more accessible. REM does not just apply to font size, but to all sizes as well.
Here's my solution for this challenge if you wants to see how I build it: https://www.frontendmentor.io/solutions/qr-code-component-vanilla-cs-js-darklight-mode-nS2aOYYsJR
