👾Hello @mason-dunn, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:

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 with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: 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 device max-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>

Hi @mason-dunn 👋, good job on completing this challenge! 🎉

I have a suggestion I've made that you can consider in the future if you're looking to improve the solution further.

  • You can use a <picture> tag when you need to change an image in different viewports. Using this tag will prevent the browser from loading both images, saving bandwidth and preventing you from utilizing a media query to modify the image.

Example:

<picture>
   <source media="(max-width: 768px)" srcset="./assets/images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
   <img src="./assets/images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="your_alt_text">
</picture>

I hope those tips will help you.

Good job, and happy coding!
