What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

Code format is something I learn while coding, and it could get better and better over time.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Certain properties I learn while styling an image help me achieve better results.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I guess I should concentrate on the grid section since I am currently having trouble figuring it out.

HTML:

  • Every webpage needs a <main> that wraps all of the content, except for <header> and footer>. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify the "main" section of a page. Change .container into a <main>.

  • The alt text should be written naturally, without using - between the words. Write something short and descriptive, without including words like "image" or "photo". Screen readers start announcing images with "image", so an alt text of "image of qr code" would be read like this: "image, image of qr code". The alt text must also say where it leads(frontendmentor.io).

  • .attribution should be a <footer>, and its text must be wrapped in a <p>.

CSS:

  • It is best practice to write CSS in a separate file, often called style.css. Create one in the same folder as the index.html, and link to it in the <head>: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">.

  • Always include a proper CSS Reset at the top.

  • Add around 1rem of padding on the body, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Remove margin on .card.

  • Add a max-width of around 20rem on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens.

  • Remove max-width on .container.

  • Remove margin on .container.

  • font-size must never be in px. This is a big accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead.

  • Since all of the text should be centered, you only need to set text-align: center on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value.

  • On the image, add display: block and change width to max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.
