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

I think I am most proud of how I was able to so easily use the HTML. I think that being such a foundational part of the website, it is so important to know how to nest your elements and how to use the semantics and attributes. I feel like I nailed the image, however, the size of the site on screen is not exactly what I wanted. I still don't fully understand github. The site that is published on github isn't the right url, I had to add the file in it. Still not sure why that's not working correclty.

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

I still don't fully understand github. The site that is published on github isn't the right url, I had to add the file in it. Still not sure why that's not working correctly.

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

Using github and layout. Laying out the website using css is probably way simpler than I made it. It is very difficult to get things to move the way you want them to.

Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

  • Here you have three HTML tags when you only need one <main>,
  <main>
  <section class="hero">
    <div class="hero-container">
      <img src="./images/image-qr-code.png" alt="QR code">
      <h1>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h1>
      <p>Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the next level</p>
    </div>
  </section>
</main>
  • Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

  • While px is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such as border-width, border-radius, inline-padding, and <img> sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, using px for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units like rem and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Use px where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.

  • For future project, You could download and host your own fonts using @font-face improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable.

You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟
