Design comparison
Solution retrospective
Next time, I'd probably use Tailwind CSS again -- but it's nice to go back to the basics of CSS now and then :-)
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I wonder if there is a more elegant solution for page layouting than the one I found. I am also struggling with precise font weights and sizes. In general, it challenges me to implement pixel-perfect layouts.

Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…
-
<main role="main">
Main already has a semantic meaning androle
doesn't need to be applied. -
Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

While
px
is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-width
,border-radius
,inline-padding
, and<img>
sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, usingpx
for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units likerem
and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepx
where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel. -
For future project, You could download and host your own fonts using
@font-face
improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable. Place to get .woff2 fonts
I hope you’re finding this guidance useful! Keep refining your skills and tackling new challenges with confidence. You’re making great progress—stay motivated and keep coding with enthusiasm! 💻
