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

I am happy that this time I tried to completely code on my own without taking my peer's help. My speed in coding and understanding mistakes got better. I want to focust on increasing speed and including better responsiveness in my future projects

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

Responsiveness of the webpage. I was not successful in making the page responsive as desired

    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.
        <div class="social-media-container">GitHub</div>
    <div class="social-media-container">Frontend Mentor</div>
    <div class="social-media-container">LinkedIn</div>
    <div class="social-media-container">Twitter</div>
    <div class="social-media-container">Instagram</div>

    • 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.

    • 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

    *{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    font-family: "Inter", serif;
    font-size: 15px;
}

    • I think you can benefit from 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,

    • 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.

    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! 💻
