Hi, congrats on completing the challenge!

Here are a few pointers to help you improve your solution and tackle future challenges:

Does the solution include semantic HTML?

  • You are missing a <main> landmark in this solution. It's needed to indicate the main content of a web page; it should wrap the main content.
  • The image doesn't really need to be wrapped in an extra <div> here if you want to simplify your HTML.
  • Attribution needs to be in a landmark, so you can use the <footer> here.
  • The alt attribute of the QR code should be a bit more descriptive. For example, "QR Code to frontendmentor.io."

Is it accessible, and what improvements could be made?

  • You should use min-height instead of a fixed height on your container in case the content takes up more space. With a fixed height, your layout can be cropped at the top and bottom.
  • Don't set a fixed height on your card; let it scale with the content. The content can take up more space if the user increases the browser default font size, for example.
  • Use relative units in your max-width value instead of pixel values. This helps when the user increases the browser default font size. With pixel values, the size cannot adjust to the updated root font size.
  • You don't need to set a width or height on the image. It's contained in the card and should scale with the card width.
  • You should not use pixels for anything related to fonts, as they need to respect user settings. You can read this great article that explains everything in depth: Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels.

Does the layout look good on a range of screen sizes?

  • You should not use position: absolute on the attribution. On some screen sizes, it can be displayed over the card itself, which is not ideal.

Is the code well-structured, readable, and reusable?

  • You need to add a modern CSS reset at the top of your stylesheet in all your projects. It will help you deal with browser inconsistencies and allow you to start on a clean slate that works similarly across different browsers.
  • You shouldn't style HTML components directly. Instead of targeting your <h1>, for example, just add a class and style the class. Generally, you want to aim for the lowest CSS specificity and increase it only if needed. This approach also helps you maintain your code better; if you later want to change this <h1> to an <h2>, you won't need to update your CSS.

Does the solution differ considerably from the design?

  • It looks good and respects the design intention.

I hope you find something useful in this list. Don't hesitate to ask if any of the points aren't clear.

Happy coding!
