Hi, Claudia👋. Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge! 🎉

Your solution looks great, and you've done a fantastic job overall! However, here are some small suggestions that might interest you:

HTML:

  • The <main> element should wrap around the entire component. Using the <header>, <main>, <footer> elements provide structural clarity, accessibility improvements, SEO benefits, and facilitates responsive design. It helps you create well-organized, maintainable, and user-friendly web pages.
<body>
    <main class="container">
        <div class="card">
            <img class="card-image" src="images/image-qr-code.png" alt="QR Code for frontendmentor.io">
            <h1 class="card-heading">Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h1>
            <p class="card-description">Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the
                next level</p>
        </div>
    </main>
    <footer><div class="attribution">...</div></footer>
</body>

CSS:

  • Using advanced layout features like Flexbox and Grid can provide more efficient and flexible ways to create complex layouts and manage spacing between elements. Flexbox is generally the best modern layout method to use for flexible responsive structures. Grid would be used for content where you want better control of their layout using columns and rows. This article explains it quite well Link as well as this video by Kevin Powell which demonstrates in practice when you would use which Link (NB. You can also combine them in an application, it all depends on the use-case)
  • If you want to build the most-accessible product possible, you need to use both pixels and ems/rems. It's not an either/or situation. There are circumstances where rems are more accessible, and other circumstances where pixels are more accessible. Link
  • You can use the max-width, margin and padding to control the width and position of your elements.
  • Percentages are often used to define widths, heights, and margins. They are relative to the parent element's size. For example, width: 50% would make an element half the width of its parent. For example:
.container {
    min-height: 100vh;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;    
}

.card {
    max-width: 20rem;
    background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 100%);
    border-radius: 0.938rem;
    text-align: center;
}

.card-image {    
    width: 90%;
    border-radius: 0.625rem;
    margin: 5%;
}

.card-heading {
    margin: 2% 5%;
    padding: 0 5%;
}

.card-description {
    margin: 5% 5% 12%;
    padding: 0 5%;
}

I hope you find this helpful! 😄 Keep up the great work! 👍

🖥️Happy coding!
