Hi there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge ! I have some feedback for you if you want to improve your code.

As mentioned, you should use grid or flexbox to center it. The main problem I see is that you have taken your body as a component, not the whole screen. In fact, the body should occupy 100% of the width and height of the screen.

body {
    /* background: var(--WHITE); */
    background: var(--LIGHT-GRAY);
    /* border-radius: 20px; */
    /* margin: 15rem auto; */
    /* max-width: 350px; */
    text-align: center;
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: grid;
    place-items: center;
}
.container {
    padding: 1em;
    max-width: 320px;
    background: var(--WHITE);
}

HTML:

  • Instead of having many <span> elements you should have occupied a single element and it can be for example a paragraph:
<p>Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the next level</p>
  • 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>
  • The alt attribute should explain the purpose of the image. Uppon scanning the QR code, the user will be redirected to the frontendmentor.io website, so a better alt attribute would be QR code to frontendmentor.io

If you want to learn more about the alt attribute, you can read this article.

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

Happy coding!

An easy way to center the card would be using grid or flexbox. For example, adding:

body {
    display: grid;
    place-items: center;
}

centers your card vertically and horizontally on the page, since place-items works as a shorthand for align-items and justify-content.

Happy coding :)
