  👾Hello @johnv2309, 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>

  Hey, some suggestions to improve you code:

  • Cool background. But, you want to place your focus creating the the card content properly.

  • For this challenge you want to use the Picture Element not the Background Image Property. The Background Image Property is mainly used on decorative images NOT images that add value and serve a purpose.

  Picture Element will allow your to switch between images in different breakpoints and makes your site load faster by saving bandwidth.

  • Syntax:

    <picture>
      <source media="(min-width: )" srcset="">
      <img src="" alt="">
    </picture>
  

  Source:

  • Once you fix the image implementation, you'll want to include an Alt text tag with them. Inside that Alt Tag you want to describe what the image is; they need to be readable. Assume you’re describing the image/icon to someone.

  • Remove the Header Element from the "Gabrielle Essence Eau De Parfum" and instead wrap it in a <h1> Heading.

  • The old price is not being announced properly to screen readers. You want to wrap it in a Del Element and include a sr-only text explaining that this is the old price.

  • Your CSS Reset is extremely bare and being underutilized. To fully maximize your CSS reset, you want to add more to it.

  Here are few CSS Resets that you can look at and use to create your own or just copy and paste one that is already prebuilt.
