Solution retrospective
I learnt the importance of reading through the README.md and Figma file in order to fully understand what to do. Next time I will read all the documents first rather than racing ahead.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?I found getting the sizing right. To overcome this I read through more documentation.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I'm interested in getting general feedback on my finished project. Any tips and tricks to shorten/improve my code would be appreciated.

Hi, it looks good, but has some problems. It's better to add flex to the body to center your project. You don't need two <main>, there is usually only one <main> for the project.

Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…
-
Avoid using
id
selectors for styling in CSS because they are too specific and hard to override, making your styles less flexible and maintainable. Instead, use class selectors (.
), which are reusable and more manageable, allowing for better control over your styles and easier updates. -
Line height is usually unitless to scale proportionally with the font size, keeping text readable across different devices. Best practice is to use a unitless value like
1.5
for flexibility. Avoid using fixed units likepx
or%
, as they don't adapt well to changes in font size or layout. -
This does not matter that much at this stage but something to be mindful of for SEO(Search Engine Optimisation),
<meta>
description tag missing. -

ormin-width: 100%

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 usealt
text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images, -
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
-
Using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,
Great job taking the time to learn! Your efforts are paying off, and I hope these insights guide you to even more success. Keep pushing forward, and remember, you’ve got this! Enjoy your coding adventures! 💪
