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>.

  • The image has meaning, so it must have proper alt text. 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."

CSS:

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

  • box-sizing: border-box should be set on all elements, using the universal selector *:

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
  • Remember to specify a fallback font:font-family: 'Outfit',sans-serif;

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

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

  • Move font-family to body.

  • Remove the width and height in px on the card. We rarely want to give a component a fixed size, as we want it to grow and shrink according to the screen size.

  • We do want to limit the width of the card, so it doesn't get too wide on larger screens. To solve this issue, give the card a max-width of around 20rem.

  • 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.

  • letter-spacing must also not be in px. You can use em, where 1em equals the element's font size.

  • regular is not a valid value for the font-weight property. You don't need to set any font weight on the paragraph, as it should have its default value of 400.

  • 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.
