Hello @A-l-i-h-o!

Your solution looks great!

I have a couple of suggestions (about semantic HTML) for improvement:

📌 First: Use <main> to wrap the main content instead of <div>.

Tags like <div> and <span> are typical examples of non-semantic HTML elements. They serve only as content holders but give no indication as to what type of content they contain or what role that content plays on the page.

📌 Second: Use <h1> for the main title instead of <div>.

Unlike what most people think, it's not just about the size and weight of the text.

  • The <h1> to <h6> tags are used to define HTML headings.
  • <h1> defines the most important heading.
  • <h6> defines the least important heading.
  • Only use one <h1> per page - this should represent the main heading/title for the whole page. And don't skip heading levels - start with <h1>, then use <h2>, and so on.

All these tag changes may have little or any visual impact but they make your HTML code more semantic and improve SEO optimization as well as the accessibility of your project.

I hope it helps!

Other than that, great job!

Hello @A-l-i-h-o,

Your solution looks great!

📌 A Couple of suggestions:

  • After <body> tag you can wrap your content inside the <main> tag. The <main> HTML element represents the dominant content of the <body> of a document. This way you are denoting that the part inside the <main> element is the core content of your website.
  • Instead of using generic <div class="container"> you can use <article> element that specifies independent, self-contained content (e.g. product card, a forum post).
  • Those are Semantic HTML elements and they add meaning to content for better understanding by browsers, developers, and accessibility tools, improving overall web page structure and SEO.

Hope this helps, great work overall!

Cheers,

Aykın
