Design comparison
Solution retrospective
I’m most proud of the clean and responsive design of the QR code template. It not only looks professional but also adapts well to different screen sizes. I also successfully integrated custom styling to make the QR code visually appealing. Next time, I would focus on optimizing the loading time of the QR code image, perhaps by compressing it or using SVG format, and I would consider adding user instructions directly on the template for better usability.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?One of the main challenges I faced was ensuring the QR code rendered correctly across different browsers. Initially, the styling appeared inconsistent on some platforms. To overcome this, I researched browser compatibility issues and used CSS resets to standardize the appearance. I also tested the template on various browsers and devices to ensure it displayed correctly everywhere.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I would appreciate feedback on the accessibility of my QR code template. Specifically, I’d like suggestions on how to make it more user-friendly for those with visual impairments. Additionally, any tips on improving the performance of the code, especially regarding image loading and responsiveness, would be very helpful.

Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…
-
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. -
Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

While
pxis useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-width,border-radius,inline-padding, and<img>sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, usingpxfor font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units likeremand adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepxwhere exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel. -
For future project, You could download and host your own fonts using
@font-faceimproves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable. Place to get .woff2 fonts
I hope you’re finding this guidance useful! Keep refining your skills and tackling new challenges with confidence. You’re making great progress—stay motivated and keep coding with enthusiasm! 💻

Everything looks good! The only thing I would check is the padding between the QR image and the card container and centering the card horizontally and vertically on the background. Good work!
