That image layout was hard!!! Like rock inside an onion. I persevered and finally got it. I ended up going through the SVG file for the geometry of the platform and then learned how to make my own SVG, so I could use them as the backdrop and the wireframe outline above. If there is an easier way, please let me know!
I set out specifically to do the accordion with only css because I wanted the practice (Why I'm here at Frontend Mentor). The choice reinforced how limiting the ID selector is, as well as the 'for' attribute in the <label> tag. It led to a ton of code duplication that would make me want to do the project again with JS. I realized I should have gone with radio buttons instead of checkboxes as it would only allow one question open at a time vs. having them all opened.

If I could make the accordion CSS any less duplicated without delving into javascript, please let me know. I tried all the ways I could find to avoid the copy paste increment route.

Thanks!

Hi Wave, how are you? I really liked the result of your project, but I have some tips that I think you will enjoy:

We have to make sure that all the content is contained in a reference region, designated with HTML5 reference elements.

HTML5 reference elements:

<body>
    <header>This is the header</header>
    <nav>This is the nav</nav>
    <main>This is the main</main>
    <footer>This is the footer</footer>
</body>

To prevent the content from stretching too much at higher resolutions, we can use a max-width:

.main {
    max-width: 1440px;
}

The rest is great!

I hope it helps... 👍
