Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…
-
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. -
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="card-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

While
pxis 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, usingpxfor 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 likeremand adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Usepxwhere 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
remoremunits in@mediaqueries is better thanpxbecause 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.
@media (min-width: 1440px)
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! 💻
