What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I was able to do it with ChatGPT and learn how some properties work. Next time i will try and limit the help of ChatGPT and try doing it on my own

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Design it was quite hard to be frank. So i used ChatGPT to help me and explain some reasons of my actions

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Can it be made more simple?

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 a page's "main" section. Wrap the card in a <main>.

  • You don't need any divs, except for the div holding the card content.

CSS:

  • Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.

  • I recommend adding 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Move background-color: hsl(212, 45%, 89%); from * to body.

  • You don't need to set anything on html, so remove that selector.

  • You can remove margin: 0 on body, as that is set on all elements using the universal selector *.

  • On the body, change height to min-height: 100svh - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport.

  • Remove all widths and heights in px and %. Setting fixed widths and heights in px is especially dangerous, as it easily causes overflow. Never set a fixed height on text elements: this will lead to overflow if the content grows taller than the set size. Always let the content (along with margin and padding) decide the height.

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

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

  • Since all of the 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. Remove text-align: justify.

  • Likewise, font-family only needs to be set on body - remove it elsewhere.

  • On the image, replace width with max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. Without this, an image would overflow if its intrinsic size is wider than the container. max-width: 100% makes the image shrink to fit inside its container.
