Design comparison
Solution retrospective
The tricky thing was deciding between spreading the elements equally vertically or letting the body overflow the user's screen. The original design was designed with a 1440x1024 screen in mind. This site had to be responsive, so if I used flexbox and spread the elements equally, The site would've looked weird on smaller screens. I decided to let the body exceed the height of the user's screen should the body overflow the height of the screen.
In the case that the body didn't overflow the body, I set the minimum height to 100vh, That way, at a minimum, the body would at least cover the screen.
In order to show errors in the user's input, I'd use the invalid CSS property of an input element. Using this allowed me to style the input when the value of the input is invalid. Using the same technique as before, I could also let the error message of the input be displayed based on the validity of the user's input.

Hi ThaBeanBoy, how are you?
I really liked the result of your project, but I have some tips that I think you will like:
1- Document should have one main landmark, you could have put all the content inside the
maintag click here2- All page content should be contained by landmarks, you can understand better by clicking here: click here
We have to make sure that all content is contained in a reference region, designated with HTML5 reference elements or ARIA reference regions.
Example:
native HTML5 reference elements:
<body> <header>This is the header</header> <nav>This is the nav</nav> <main>This is the main</main> <footer>This is the footer</footer> </body>ARIA best practices call for using native HTML5 reference elements instead of ARIA functions whenever possible, but the markup in the following example works:
<body> <div role="banner">This is the header</div> <div role="navigation">This is the nav</div> <div role="main">This is the main</div> <div role="contentinfo">This is the footer</div> </body>It is a best practice to contain all content, except skip links, in distinct regions such as header, navigation, main, and footer.

2- Why it Matters
Navigating the web page is far simpler for screen reader users if all of the content splits between one or more high-level sections. Content outside of these sections is difficult to find, and its purpose may be unclear.
HTML has historically lacked some key semantic markers, such as the ability to designate sections of the page as the header, navigation, main content, and footer. Using both HTML5 elements and ARIA landmarks in the same element is considered a best practice, but the future will favor HTML regions as browser support increases.
Rule Description
It is a best practice to ensure that there is only one main landmark to navigate to the primary content of the page and that if the page contains iframe elements, each should either contain no landmarks, or just a single landmark.
