  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 the "main" section of a page. Wrap the card in a <main>.

  • Change "qr-container" to a class.

  • The alt text should be written naturally, without using - between the words. 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(frontendmentor.io).

  CSS:

  • Always include a CSS Reset at the top.

  • Add around 1rem of padding on the body, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

  • Move font-family to body.

  • Remove the margin on the card.

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

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

  • Remove the fixed width and height on the card. Except for icons, you rarely want to set fixed dimensions(especially heights), as this easily creates issues with responsiveness.

  • 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.

  • Remove padding on the image. Add display: block and change width to max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.

  • As the design doesn't change, there is no need for any media queries. When you do need them, they should be in rem, not px. Also, it is common practice to do mobile styles first and use media queries for larger screens.
