  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" content. Change the first <div> into 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."

  • "Improve your" is a heading. I would make it 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 recommend adding a bit of padding, for example 16px, on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Move background: hsl(212, 45%, 89%) to the body, and remove background: white. NB: I would use background-color instead of background.

  • .background-blue doesn't need any styling - delete all of its styles.

  • 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 the width, as the body is 100% wide by default. Remove place-content: center, it doesn't apply without display: grid.

  • To center the card horizontally and vertically, I would use Flexbox on the body:

  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 100svh;
  

  • Remove the margin on the card - it is centered with Flexbox.

  • Remove margin-bottom on .card-content.

  • Remove all widths and heights in px and %.

  • 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.

  • Paragraphs have a default value of font-weight: 400, so there is no need to declare it.

  • On the image, remove the margin. Add display: block, height: auto 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.

  • To create the space between the image and the edge of the card, set padding on all 4 sides of the card: padding: 16px;.
