Hello! 2nd exercise completed on this site, and certainly not the last! I tried starting this page with a mobile-first approach and then adapting it to a web format. I didn't encounter major difficulties (perhaps the code is not optimal? I'm counting on you to let me know), the only challenge I faced was with media queries. How can I create smooth transitions within the media query? Currently, when reaching 900px, there is a sudden jerk.

I also noticed a larger bottom padding on the page than at the top, and when I inspect the page, nothing is indicated at the bottom; it's not related to the body or anything. I don't understand it much!

Thanks in advance!

    Hello @Ynotlocin1!

    Your project looks great!

    • Using margin is not the best option to center an element. Here's a very efficient (and better) way to place an element in the middle of the page both vertically and horizontally:

    šŸ“Œ Apply this to the body (in order to work properly, don't use position or margins):

    body {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;  /* it works with grid too  */
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

    I hope it helps!

    Other than that, great job!

    @danielmrz-dev Thanks Daniel ! But could I know why it is more efficient than margin auto ?
