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="container">
    <div class="container2">
      <div class="img">
        <img src="./images/image-qr-code.png" alt="qr-code">
      </div>
      <div class="description">
        <p class="tagline">

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.
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,

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! 💻
