Design comparison
Solution retrospective
I'm happy that I actually got the project started and finished it - I was letting it sit in the backburner for too long.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?I found gaps in knowledge of CSS, specifically flexbox and positioning elements. I did have to take a peek at others' solutions to get a push in the right direction after making a small mess of container divs.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I'd like feedback on if there is something I can do to make the CSS more organized and whether I'm following best practice - I know it's a smaller project, but better to start implementing it now than have to backtrack on bigger ones!

If you want to make your card responsive with ease you can use this technique:
.card { width: 90%; max-width: 37.5rem; }
On the smaller screens card will be 90% of the parent (here body), but as soon as the card will be 37.5rem (600px) it will lock with this size.
Also to put the card in the center I advise you to use this code snippet:
.container { display: grid; place-items: center; }
Hope you found this comment helpful ๐๐๐
Good job and keep going ๐๐๐

Hey, fantastic effort on this! Youโre really nailing it. Just a few things I noticed that could make it even betterโฆ
-
Setting
font-size: 62.5%
can affect accessibility by reducing the default browser font size, potentially making text harder to read for users with visual impairments. This does make it easier to work out the relative units but at what cost? -
Using
max-width: 100%
ormin-width: 100%
is more responsive than justwidth: 100%
because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning. -
Developers should avoid using pixels (
px
) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, userem
orem
, which are relative units that adjust based on user settings, making your design more flexible, responsive, and accessible. For more information check out this, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels or this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained.- Another great resource for px to rem converter. -
For future project, You could downloading and host your own fonts using
@font-face
improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable.
Keep building on your knowledge, and remember, every step forward is progress. Youโre on the right track, and youโre doing great. Have an awesome day and happy coding! ๐
