  Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…

  • I would put these into a <ul> <li>, and the text should be wrapped with a <a> so it is accessible with a keyboard using the tab key, Using an <a> tag for navigation is semantically correct, improves accessibility for screen readers, and ensures consistent behavior across browsers, unlike a <button> or a <div> not intended for links.

  <nav class="profile-links">
    <a href="#" class="button">GitHub</a>
    <a href="#" class="button">Frontend Mentor</a>
    <a href="#" class="button">LinkedIn</a>
    <a href="#" class="button">Twitter</a>
    <a href="#" class="button">Instagram</a>
  </nav>
  

  • These <span> should really have semantic tags like headings (<h1> to <h6>) and paragraphs (<p>) convey structure and meaning to content, improving accessibility, SEO, and readability by helping search engines and screen readers interpret the content.

  <span class="profile-location">London, United Kingdom</span>
  

  • While px is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such as border-width, border-radius, inline-padding, and <img> sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, using px for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units like rem and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Use px where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.

  • 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.

  • 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

  I hope you’re finding this guidance useful! Keep refining your skills and tackling new challenges with confidence. You’re making great progress—stay motivated and keep coding with enthusiasm! 💻
