  Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

  I have some suggestions about your code that might interest you.

  HTML 📄:

  • 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.

  • Use the <footer> tag to wrap the footer of the page instead of the <div class="attribution">. The <footer> element contains information about the author of the page, the copyright, and other legal information.

  • 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>

  • Always avoid skipping heading levels; Always start from <h1>, followed by <h2>, and so on up to <h6> (<h1>,<h2>,...,<h6>). Swap the <h3> tag with <h2>

  • The <br> tag is not a semantic element. If a screen reader user is reading the page, they will hear "line break", which breaks the flow of the content. Instead, use CSS properties like margin and padding to add vertical space between elements.

  Alt text 📷:

  • The alt attribute should not contain the words "image", "photo", or "picture", because the image tag already conveys that information.

  • 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. 📘.

  CSS 🎨:

  • To center the component in the page, you should use Flexbox or Grid layout. You can read more about centering in CSS here 📘.

  body {
      background: #d5e1ef;
      font-family: 'Outfit', sans-serif;
      min-height: 100vh;
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      justify-content: center;
      align-items: center;
  }
  

  • You should use a CSS reset to remove the default browser styles and make your page look the same in all browsers.

    Popular CSS resets:

    • Normalize.css
    • Reset CSS
    • "My Custom CSS Reset" by JoshWComeau

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

  Happy coding!

  Replace<div class="container">with the main tag, <h3> with <h1> and <div class="attribution"> with the footer tag to fix the accessibility issues. click here for more on web-accessibility and semantic html

  Use the colors that were given in the styleguide.md found in the zip folder you downloaded

  Increase the width of .card-body for it to be equivalent to the width of the design, there is no need to give .card-body a height value. Give the img a max-width of 100% instead a width and height value.

  There is no need for box-shadow in this challenge.

  Use relative units like rem or em as unit for the padding, margin, width values and preferably rem for the font-size values, instead of using px which is an absolute unit. For more on CSS units Click here

  Hope am helpful.

  Well done for completing this challenge. HAPPY CODING
