    Hi @roleigh1 👋, good job for completing this challenge and welcome to the Frontend Mentor Community! 🎉

    Here are some suggestions you might consider:

    • The container is not center. You can use flexbox to center things
    body {
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

    and remove margin-left: auto;, margin-right: auto; and margin-top: 15%; from the box selector

    More information: A Complete Guide to Flexbox (CSS-Tricks) | How TO - Center Elements Vertically (W3Schools)

    • Don't use <br>, the <br> tag is not semantic. It should never be used to add vertical spacing, it is only used in specific cases (e.g. poem or an address) also when a screen-reader reads the text it will break the text at the <br /> tag and break the flow of reading, You could use padding or margin styling via CSS to avoid them. More Information here.
    • Use text-align: center to the .box selector to center the text in the card.

    I hope those tips will help you.

    Good Job and happy coding !

    👾Hi , congratulations on your solution!👋 Welcome to the Frontend Mentor Coding Community!

    Great solution and a great start! From what I saw you’re on the right track. I’ve 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.
    • The HTML structure is fine and works, and you can reduce at least 20% of your code by cleaning the unnecessary elements, you start cleaning it by removing some unnecessary <div>. For this solution you wrap everything inside a single block of content using <div> or <main> (better option for accessibility) and put inside the whole content <img> / <h1> and <p>.
    <body>
<main>
<img src="./images/image-qr-code.png" alt="QR Code Frontend Mentor" >
 <h1>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h1>
<p>Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the next level</p>
</main>
</body>
    • Add a margin of around margin: 20px to avoid the card touching the screen edges while it scales down.
    • Use relative units as rem or em instead of px 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

    ✌️ I hope this helps you and happy coding!
