Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉
-
To make it mobile responsive it is important to first understand how the breakpoints work with the media queries, which breakpoints to target etc.
-
Feel free to go through my product preview project code and notice how I handle responsiveness with mobile and desktop product images.
In my projects:
- I always start with mobile-first workflow.
- I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body>
<main>
All content
</main>
</body>
-
I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.
-
If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project(which you did). Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals and then move on to any framework or library.

I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:
📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.
📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with important topics like block and inline elements, HTML Semantic Elements.
I hope you find these resources helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻
Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨

@itush • If I would to start with mobile-first when making this project, would it be easier to make it a desktop site afterwords? I had an issue already going from desktop to mobile, so I am wondering if it would be the same.
• I am still getting used to using other elements in my HTML, I'll try to use less divs when making small projects like these. Is that not the way to do things?
• I find it hard to position things when after using flexbox, so I typically go to relative and absolute positioning. How could I avoids those moving forward?
• I also thank you for the extra information guidance for my next project. I'm excited to keep learning! I'll check out the links you sent shortly, thank you, thank you! 🙌

You are most welcome!
-
mobile-first workflow is a tried and tested approach and easier than the opposite workflow.
-
You may use divs when there is no scope left for HTML semantics. This will be more clear to you with practice.
-
Yes, it is important to correctly understand CSS Position property to render HTML elements as per the requirement. Please note:
-
By default, all HTML elements are static (non-positioned elements).
-
By using top, right, bottom, left we can control the final location of an HTML element.
-
Top, right, bottom, left, z-index don’t have any effect on Statically positioned / non-positioned elements.
-
So, basically, we first need to convert a non-positioned element to a positioned element using (relative/fixed/absolute/sticky) then only (top/right/bottom/left/z-index) etc. will work for the targeted element.
-
If you patiently read both the articles, I'm sure most of your doubts will be cleared if not all.
-
Feel free to ask more questions :)
BTW: It would motivate me to provide quality support like this to the community, if you could spare a moment and give my GitHub pinned projects a ⭐️ star.
