Incredible work on this! You’re making great strides, and I have a couple of suggestions that might push it even further…
-
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 usealt
text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images, -
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. -
This does not matter that much at this stage but something to be mindful of for SEO(Search Engine Optimisation),
<meta>
description tag missing that helps search engine determine what the page is about, Something like this<meta name="description" content="description goes here" />

While
px
is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such asborder-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, usingpx
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 likerem
and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepx
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
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.
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! 💻
