Responsive Product Card using Vanilla CSS and HTML
Design comparison
Solution retrospective
GitHub and I are about to go a round if I don't figure this stuff out soon. It didn't want to recognize my cart icon despite it being the EXACT SAME as it was on my desktop, and THAT was working.
ANYWAY, my biggest problem with this one was figuring out how to change images based on screen size. I think I figured it out, but if anyone wants to look over the code and see if I did it in a weird/incorrect way, I'd really appreciate it!

Hello there π. Good job on completing the challenge !
I have some suggestions about your code that might interest you.
HTML π·οΈ:
- In my humble opinion, the tag
<picture>
is a very good choice when switching between images.
-
Avoid using uppercase text in your HTML because screen readers will read it letter by letter. You can use the
text-transform
property to transform the text to uppercase in CSS.The word "perfume" is written as separate letters, which does not convey the meaning that this text is a single cohesive unit of content. This can be confusing for users and for screen readers, as it can be difficult to understand the meaning of the text.
Example:
<p>Perfume</p> p { text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.3em; }
Alt text π·:
- The
alt
attribute should not contain the words "image", "photo", or "picture", because the image tag already conveys that information.
-
Not all images should have alt text. The cart-icon is a decorative image, it does not add any information to the page. You should use an empty
alt
attribute instead of a descriptive one. You can read more about this here π.If you want to learn more about the
alt
attribute, you can read this article. π.
CSS π¨:.
-
Use
min-height: 100vh
instead ofheight
. Setting the height to 100vh may result in the component being cut off on smaller screens, such as a mobile phone in landscape orientation.
I hope you find it useful! π Above all, the solution you submitted is great!
Happy coding!
Marked as helpful0@KoiHastPosted over 1 year ago@MelvinAguilar Thank you so much for the feedback! I was also kinda confused when the accessibility report said I needed to add a descriptive alt attribute to the cart icon.
And that totally makes sense about not having "photo" in your alt tag. That was goofy of me. I should've caught that.
I didn't know that screen readers read capital letters as the actual letter names. I'll make sure to keep that in mind for the future!

To center the main on the page using flexbox, replace the height in the body with min-height: 100vh.
There is no need to give the main a height value, rather give .text-container a padding value for all the sides, this will replace the height of the main.
In the desktop design give .product-image and . text-container a width of 50% and the img a width of 100% and height of 100%.
In the media query, give .product-image and .text-container a width of 100%.
Use relative units like rem or em as unit for the padding, margin and width values, instead of using px which is an absolute unit. For more on CSS units Click here
Hope am helpful.
Well done for completing this challenge. HAPPY CODING
