Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

  • Above 600px screen size your Social card begins to break, You can fix this by changing the width: 25%; to width: 70%;

  • Your links are inaccessible with a keyboard, You can also fix this by wrapping the text inside the list with a <a> tag,

  • This does not matter that much at this stage but something to be mindful of for SEO(Search Engine Optimisation), <meta> description tag missing.

  • Using a <main> tag inside the <body> of your HTML is a best practice because it clearly identifies the main content of your page. This helps with accessibility and improves how search engines understand your content.

  • Setting the width and height for an <img> helps the page load faster and prevents content from jumping around as the image loads. This is good for performance and improves user experience. However, if your image needs to keep a consistent shape (aspect ratio) across different screen sizes, it's better to use the CSS aspect-ratio property instead.

  • Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% is more responsive than just width: 100% because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning.

  • Developers should avoid using pixels (px) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, use rem or em, which are relative units that adjust based on user settings, making your design more flexible, responsive, and accessible. For more information check out this, Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels or this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained.- Another great resource for px to rem converter.

  • Using a full modern CSS reset is beneficial because it removes default browser styling, creating a consistent starting point for your design across all browsers. It helps avoid unexpected layout issues and makes your styles more predictable, ensuring a uniform appearance on different devices and platforms, check out this site for a Full modern reset

  • Using a naming convention like BEM (Block, Element, Modifier) is beneficial because it makes your CSS more organized, readable, and easier to maintain. BEM helps you clearly understand the purpose of each class, avoid naming conflicts, and create reusable components, leading to a more scalable codebase. For more details BEM,

  • Using rem or em units in @media queries is better than px because they are relative units that adapt to user settings, like their preferred font size. This makes your design more responsive and accessible, ensuring it looks good on different devices and respects user preferences.

You’re doing fantastic! I hope these tips help you as you continue your coding journey. Stay curious and keep experimenting—every challenge is an opportunity to learn. Have fun, and keep coding with confidence! 🌟
