Product Preview Card Component using flex box and media query
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
This is my responsive website using flex box and media query. It was a bit hard to make it responsive and get the image to a good size, which does not stretch. I reduced the image in photoshop so it wouldn't be stretched and I adjusted it in CSS. Would you do anything different?

👾Hello Joyce, Congratulations on completing this challenge!
Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:
1.For future projects, think about using relative units as
rem
orem
instead ofpx
to improve your performance by resizing fonts between different screens and devices.2.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.3.Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the
<picture>
tag instead of importing this as an<img>
or using a div withbackground-image
. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using adiv
orimg
and set the change in the css withdisplay: none
with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the<picture>
tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the devicemax-width
depending of the device desktop + mobile.Check the link for the official documentation for
<picture>
in W3 SCHOOLS:https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp
See the example below:
<picture> <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg"> <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;"> </picture>
