  Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

  I have some feedback for you if you want to improve your code.

  HTML 📄:

  • Use the <main> tag to wrap all the main content of the page instead of the <div> tag. With this semantic element you can improve the accessibility of your page.

  • You must use a level-one heading (h1) even though this is not a full-page challenge. You can create an '<h1>' element within your 'main' element that will be hidden visually but visible and readable by screen readers. The class "sr-only" hides content visually and here are the styles to copy. e.g.: <h1 class="sr-only">QR Card Component</h1>

  • Always avoid skipping heading levels; Always start from <h1>, followed by <h2>, and so on up to <h6> (<h1>,<h2>,...,<h6>). Swap the <h3> tag with <h2>

  • Since this component involves scanning the QR code, the image is not a decoration, so it must have an alt attribute. The alt attribute should explain its purpose. e.g. QR code to frontendmentor.io

  CSS 🎨:

  • Instead of using pixels in font-size, use relative units like em or rem. The font-size in absolute units like pixels does not scale with the user's browser settings. This can cause accessibility issues for users who have set their browser to use a larger font size. You can read more about this here 📘.

  • To center vertically use a height for the body component:

    body {
       min-height: 100vh;
    }
    .box-container {
        /* margin-top: 8%; */ 
    }
    

  • You should use a CSS reset to remove the default browser styles and make your page look the same in all browsers.

    Popular CSS resets:

    • Normalize.css
    • Reset CSS
    • "My Custom CSS Reset" by JoshWComeau

  I hope you find it useful! 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great!

  Happy coding!
