Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…
-
Using a
<main>tag inside the<body>of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content. -
Overusing
<div>tags, known as "divitis," leads to cluttered code, poor semantics, and reduced performance. Instead, use appropriate semantic elements (like<header>,<section>, etc.) to improve readability, accessibility, and SEO. Keep HTML clean and minimal to ensure maintainability, scalability, and better CSS structure.
<div class="recipe-card__omelette-img">
<img src="./assets/images/image-omelette.jpeg" alt="Omelette" />
</div>
- Having a clear and descriptive
alttext for images is important because it helps people who use screen readers understand the content, making your site more accessible. It also improves SEO, as search engines usealttext to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,
<img src="./assets/images/image-omelette.jpeg" alt="Omelette" />❌
<img src="./assets/images/image-omelette.jpeg" alt="A picture of a cooked Omelette" />✅
-
Using
font-display: swapin your@font-facerule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear. -
While
pxis useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-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, usingpxfor 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 likeremand adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepxwhere 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.
body {
font-size: 16px; }
-
I think you can benefit from using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,

Using
remoremunits in@mediaqueries is better thanpxbecause they are relative units that adapt to user settings, like their preferred font size. This makes your design more responsive and accessible, ensuring it looks good on different devices and respects user preferences.
@media screen and (max-width: 715px)
I hope you’re finding this guidance useful! Keep refining your skills and tackling new challenges with confidence. You’re making great progress—stay motivated and keep coding with enthusiasm! 💻
