  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 .container to a <main>.

  • Remove <picture>, that is used when you want to serve different versions of an image depending on the screen size.

  • 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."

  • 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 recommend adding a bit of padding, for example 16px, on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • I would move the styles on .container to the body. Change height to min-height: 100svh - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport.

  • Remove all widths in px.We rarely want to give a component a fixed size, as we need 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.

  • 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.

  • font-family is also a property which gets inherited, so set it on body, and delete it anywhere else.

  • I would increase the padding on the card a little bit, to for example 16px.

  • On the image, 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.
