👾Hello Maximiliano Torres, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:

1.Replace the divs container the image / text content with an <article> thats better than a div to wrap.Check the link for the official documentation for <picture> in W3 SCHOOLS: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp

2.Use relative units like rem or em instead of px to have a better performance when your page content resizes on different screens and devices. REM and EM does not just apply to font size, but all sizes as well. To save your time you can code your whole page using px and then in the end use a VsCode plugin called px to rem to do the automatic conversion or use this website https://pixelsconverter.com/px-to-rem

3.Use a CSS reset to avoid all the problems you can have with the default CSS setup, removing all margins, and making the images easier to work, see the article below where you can copy and paste this CSS code cheatsheet: https://piccalil.li/blog/a-modern-css-reset/

4.Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the <picture> tag instead of importing this as an <img> or using a div with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: none with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the <picture> tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the device max-width depending of the device desktop + mobile.

See the example below:

<picture>
  <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
  <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;">
</picture>

Hey, some suggestions to improve you code:

    • The Alt Tag description for the image needs to be improved upon. You want to describe what the image is; they need to be readable. Assume you’re describing the image to someone.
  • When using images that are different size for different breakpoints, its’ far more effective to use the <picture> element. By using this element not are able to use different size images, you can also save on bandwidth, meaning your content loads faster.

Syntax:

  <picture>
    <source media="(min-width: )" srcset="">
    <img src="" alt="">
  </picture>

  • There should only be one heading in this challenge and thats for the Perfume’s Name. Everything else should be using a Paragraph Element.

  • The old price isnt being announce properly to screenreaders. You want to wrap it in a Del Element and include a sr-only text explaining that this is the old price.

  • For media queries, I definitely suggest using em for them. By using px your assuming that every users browser (mobile, tablet, laptop/desktop) is using a font size of 16px (this is the default size on browser). Em's will help with users whose default isn't 16px, which can sometimes cause the your content to overflow and negatively affect your layout.

  • Your CSS Reset is extremely bare. You want to add more to it.

Here are few CSS Resets that you can look at and use to create your own CSS Reset or just copy and paste one that already prebuilt.
