    HTML:

    • Every webpage needs a <main> that wraps all of the content, except for <header> and footer>. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify the "main" section of a page. Make .card a <main>.

    • You don't need any divs, so remove those.

    • The alt text also needs to say where it leads (frontendmentor.io).

    • "Improve your" is a heading - make it a <h1>. Do not use the <b> tag to get bold text.

    • .attribution should be a <footer>.

    • The footer text needs to be wrapped in a <p>.

    CSS:

    • It is best practice to write the CSS in a separate file, often called style.css. Create one in the same folder as the index.html, and link to it in the <head>: ``<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">`

    • It's good practice to include a CSS Reset at the top.

    • Only declare font-family on body once. It should be written like this: font-family: "Outfit", sans-serif;

    • height on body should be min-height - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport.

    • Move box-sizing: border-box from the image to the * - we want this to apply to all elements, as it makes for easier calculation.

    • font-size must never be in px. This is bad for accessibility, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead.

    • Remove the fixed width and height on the card. Except for icons, you rarely want to set fixed dimensions(especially heights), as this easily creates issues with responsiveness.

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

    • Since all text should be centered, you only need to set text-align: center on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value.

    • On the image, add display: block and replace width with max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.
