@pavikrish26, I’d like to provide some feedback. In past challenges, I noticed you haven't engaged or responded when solutions were submitted. Networking and actively engaging with the community are essential, and I highly encourage you to embrace these practices. They can greatly enhance collaboration and growth.

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 a page's "main" section. Wrap the card in a <main>.

  • The image has meaning, so it must have proper alt text. 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(the frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."

  • I would change the heading to a <h2> - a page should only have one <h1>, reserved for the main heading. As this is a card heading, it would likely not be the main heading on a page with several components.

  • .attribution should be a <footer>, and you should use <p> for the text inside.

CSS:

  • Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.

  • Move font-family to body.

  • I recommend adding 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • On the body, change height to min-height: 100svh - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport. Remove margin and overflow.

  • Remove the width in px on the card. We rarely want to give a component a fixed size, as we want it to grow and shrink according to the screen size.

  • We do want to limit the width of the card, so it doesn't get too wide on larger screens. To solve this issue, give the card a max-width of around 20rem.

  • 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.

  • As the design doesn't change, there is no need for any media queries. When you do need them, they should be in rem or em, not px.
