  Hi Lucas, great job!

  Here are some suggestions to improve your solution even further:

  HTML:

  • Remove the <section>, it is not needed.

  • You don't need to include words like "image" or "picture" in the 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.

  CSS:

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

  • I recommend adding a bit of padding, for example 16px, on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Also on the body, you can remove font-weight: 400 and font-style: normal, as these are default values.

  • Remove the margin on the card.

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

  • 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.

  • On the image, add display: block, height: auto and 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.
