This was the easiest challenge for me so far. I even decided to play around with linear gradient on the page background

    Hi. It looks good, but there are quite a lot of things to improve in the code.

    HTML:

    • You need a <main>. Change the first <div> to a main. And make the ID a class.

    • qr-code should also be a class. IDs are rarely used these days.

    • Alt text also needs to tell where it leads (frontendmentor.io).

    • "Improve your frontend skills" is a <h1>.

    • .attribution should be a <footer>. And the text needs to be wrapped in a <p>.

    CSS:

    • Don't use @import. It's better for performance to link the fonts in the <head> of the HTML.

    • It's good practice to include a CSS Reset at the top. Andy Bell has a good one you can use.

    • Remove max-width and max-height on the body. Add min-height: 100vh

    • Change justify-content from space-between to center, to center the card vertically.

    • Remove flex-wrap: wrapon the container. You do not need it here.

    • Remove box-sizing: content-box. It's the default, so you wouldn't have to declare it. Anyway, in the mentioned CSS Reset, the first thing it does is select all elements and applies box-sizing: border-box.

    • Remove all fixed widths. Add max-width in rem on the card.

    • Put text-align: center; on the body. The text will elements will inherit the value.

    • Font-size should not be in px. Use rem.

    @Islandstone89 thanks for this, I'm still new to it all so I don't necessarily know all the tips and tricks of CSS, I kinda tend to just do things manually like a noob would, I'll try these out right now!

    A vertical linear background would look better in my opinion. Looks great!!!
