Hi, good job!

A few suggestions:

HTML:

  • <main> holds all of the main content on a page. As a card would likely not be the only component on a page, I would wrap the card content in a <div class="card"> inside of <main>.

  • The alt text should be written naturally, without using _ between the words. Write something short and descriptive, without including words like "image" or "photo". Screen readers start announcing images with "image", so an alt text of "image of qr code" would be read like this: "image, image of qr code". The alt text must also say where it leads(the frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."

  • I would change the heading to a <h2> - a page should only have one <h1>, reserved for the main heading. As this is a card heading, it would likely not be the main heading on a page with several components.

CSS:

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

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

  • I would rewrite:

*{
    box-sizing: border-box;
    &::before,&::after{
        box-sizing: border-box;
    }

to:

*, *::before, *::after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
  • Remove all margins.

  • Remove all widths, but do keep the max-width in rem on the card.

  • 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.

  • On the image, add display: block and 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.
