Frontend Mentor | Responsive using flex box coding challenge solution

Solution retrospective

What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

What are you most proud of? I’m proud of creating a clean, responsive layout using Flexbox and integrating Google Fonts for a modern look. The project successfully met its goal of improving my front-end skills.
What would you do differently next time? Next time, I’d add subtle animations for interactivity, focus more on accessibility, and possibly use CSS Grid for more complex layouts. I’d also consider using SCSS or CSS variables to make styling more efficient.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Responsive design: Ensuring the layout looked good on different screen sizes required some adjustments.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Areas for Help Accessibility: Guidance on improving accessibility with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation.

Animations: Tips on implementing subtle hover effects and transitions.

CSS Optimization: Advice on using SCSS or organizing styles for better scalability.

Awesome job tackling this challenge! You’re doing amazing, and I wanted to share a couple of suggestions that might help refine your approach…

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.
Having a clear and descriptive alt text for images is important because it helps people who use screen readers understand the content, making your site more accessible. It also improves SEO, as search engines use alt text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,
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 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.
For future project, You could downloading and host your own fonts using @font-face improves website performance by reducing external requests, provides more control over font usage, ensures consistency across browsers, enhances offline availability, and avoids potential issues if third-party font services become unavailable.

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! 🌟

If you want to make your card responsive with ease you can use this technique:

.card {
width: 90%;
max-width: 37.5rem;
}

On the smaller screens card will be 90% of the parent (here body), but as soon as the card will be 37.5rem (600px) it will lock with this size.

Also to put the card in the center I advise you to use this code snippet:

.container {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
}

Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗

Good job and keep going 😁😊😉

Looks good! I didn't see the part for mobile view in the CSS file, this can be something to be done as for the next steps.
