Awesome job tackling this challenge! You’re doing amazing, and I wanted to share a couple of suggestions that might help refine your approach…
- I would put these into a
<ul> <li>
, Unlike a<button>
or a<div>
not intended for links.
<a href="#" class="link">GitHub</a> <a href="#" class="link">Frontend Mentor</a> <a href="#" class="link">LinkedIn</a> <a href="#" class="link">Twitter</a> <a href="#" class="link">Instagram</a>

Using
font-display: swap
in your@font-face
rule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear. -
Developers should avoid using pixels (
px
) because they are a fixed size and don't scale well on different devices. Instead, userem
orem
, 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
rem
orem
units in@media
queries is better thanpx
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! 🌟

Well done, here are some things to review 😊:
-
REM for Units: It's best to use
rem
for all units instead ofpx
, as this ensures scalability and consistency in spacing and font sizes based on the user's root font size. It helps improve accessibility. -
Semantic HTML: Consider ensuring all elements are wrapped in semantic HTML tags like
<main>
,<section>
, and<article>
to enhance the structure and SEO-friendliness of the page. -
BEM/Convention for Class Naming: Apply a class naming convention like BEM (Block Element Modifier) to make the styles modular and more maintainable. For example, use
.card__title
or.card--highlighted
. -
Unitless Line-Height: It's better to set line-height as unitless (e.g.,
line-height: 1.5
) to avoid issues with inheritance and allow the spacing to scale appropriately with the font size. -
CSS Reset: Consider adding a full modern CSS reset (like normalize.css or custom resets at the beginning of the stylesheet) to ensure consistent styling across different browsers. Here is a link to one I really like.
-
Clamp() for Responsiveness: Use the
clamp()
function for fluid typography and spacing, allowing elements to resize smoothly between a minimum and maximum value based on the viewport size (e.g.,font-size: clamp(1rem, 2vw, 1.5rem)
). -
Use max-width/min-width and max-height/min-height: Instead of using fixed
width
andheight
, opt formax-width
ormin-width
to allow the elements to resize smoothly on different screen sizes, improving overall responsiveness.
Hope you found this comment helpful 💗💗💗
