Hey @JGedd, adding to what was said above/below:

To make your content Semantically Correct and give it Structure, your HTML code has be set up in the following manner.

 <body>
        <main>
            <article>
                <img src="" alt="">
                <h1></h1>
                <p></p>
            </article>
        </main>
    </body>

Why use Semantic HTML?

Accessibility: Semantic HTML makes webpages accessible for mobile devices and for people with disabilities as well. This is because screen readers and browsers are able to interpret the code better.
SEO: It improves the website SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, which is the process of increasing the number of people that visit your webpage. With better SEO, search engines are better able to identify the content of your website and weight the most important content appropriately.
Easy to Understand: Semantic HTML also makes the website’s source code easier to read for other web developers.

More Info

The Alt Tag description for the QR image needs to be improved upon. Its needs to tell screen reader users what it is and where it will take them to when they scan it.

Happy Coding!

👾Hi @JGedd, congratulations on your solution!👋 Welcome to the Frontend Mentor Coding Community!

Great solution and a great start! From what I saw you’re on the right track. I’ve few suggestions for you that you can consider adding to your code:

Add <main> instead of <div> to wrap the card container. This way you show that this is the main block of content and also replace the div with a semantic tag.

Replace the <h2> containing the main title with <h1> note that this title is the main heading for this page and every page needs one h1 to show which is the most important heading. Use the sequence h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 to show the hierarchy of your titles in the level of importance, never jump a level.

Clean your code by removing some unnecessary divs, most of the content can stand alone without a div. Use div only for blocks that need a special alignment or the content needs a special positioning.

Add a margin of around margin: 20px to avoid the card touching the screen edges while it scales down.

Use relative units as rem or em instead of px to improve your performance by resizing fonts between different screens and devices. These units are better to make your website more accessible. REM does not just apply to font size, but to all sizes as well.

Here's my solution for this challenge if you wants to see how I build it: https://www.frontendmentor.io/solutions/qr-code-component-vanilla-cs-js-darklight-mode-nS2aOYYsJR
