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. Change .container to a <main>.

  • 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).

  • .attribution should be a <footer>, and its text must be wrapped in a <p>.

CSS:

  • Performance-wise, it's better to link fonts in the <head> of the HTML than using @import.

  • It's good practice to include a CSS Reset at the top.

  • On the body, add around 1rem of padding, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens. Remove the margin. And change height to min-height: 100svh.

  • The card should never have a fixed width.

  • 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 bad for accessibility, 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.

  • It is usual to set display: block on images.

  • 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.
