    HTML:

    • Don't include words like "image" or "photo" in alt text. 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. It needs to be outside of <main>, as both are distinct semantic landmarks.

    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">.

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

    • Outfit is a sans-serif font, so remember to specify the correct fallback font:font-family: 'Outfit', sans-serif;.

    • On the body, change height to min-height - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport. Also, add flex-direction: column and gap: 2rem.

    • Remove the margin on the card, it is not needed, since you're using Flexbox to center the card both horizontally and vertically.

    • On the card, remove max-width: 100% and width: 100% - it is a block element, meaning it takes up the full width by default.

    • The card does need a max-width, so it doesn't stretch too wide on larger screens. However, this should be in rem - around 20rem works well.

    • Remember that all font sizes must be set in rem instead of px.

    • I would decrease the font size of the heading a little.

    • Paragraphs have a default value of font-weight: 400, so there is no need to declare it.

    • The color of the paragraph has poor contrast, so I would change it to a darker color.

    • 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, change width to max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. Without this, an image would overflow if its intrinsic size is wider than the container. max-width: 100% makes the image shrink to fit inside its container.

    • 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. Also, it is common practice to do mobile styles first and use media queries for larger screens.
