  Hi there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge ! I have some feedback for you if you want to improve your code.

  HTML:

  • Use the <main> tag to wrap all the main content of the page instead of the <div> tag. With this semantic element you can improve the accessibility of your page.

  • Use the <footer> tag to wrap the footer of the page instead of the <div class="attribution">. The <footer> element contains information about the author of the page, the copyright, and other legal information.

  • The product image is not a decoration. You must not use the background-image property to add the product image. Instead, use the <img> tag to add the image. Use the background-image property only for decorative images that do not add any information to the page.

  • You can use the <picture> tag when you have different versions of the same image. Using the <picture> tag will help you to load the correct image for the user's device saving bandwidth and improving performance. You can read more about this here.

  Example:

  <picture>
  	<source media="(max-width: 460px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
  	<img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="{your alt text goes here}">
  </picture>
  

  • You could use the <del> tag to indicate the price that was before the discount. Additionally, you can use a sr-only class to describe the discount. This will help screen reader users to understand that the price was discounted.

  Example:

  <del><span class="sr-only">Old price: </span>$169.99</del>
  

  CSS:

  • Setting the font-size to 62.5% can attract compatibility issues with third-party libraries or plugins. You can read more about this with this two lectures:

  1. The Surprising Truth About Pixels and Accessibility - The 62.5% trick
  2. A comment on the 62.5% trick

  Credit to grace-snow and vanzasetia for pointing this out.

  • You should use a CSS reset to remove the default browser styles and make your page look the same in all browsers.

  Popular CSS resets:

  • Normalize.css
  • Reset CSS

  I hope you find it useful! 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great!

  Happy coding!
