Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…
-
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. -
Line height is usually unitless to scale proportionally with the font size, keeping text readable across different devices. Best practice is to use a unitless value like
1.5
for flexibility. Avoid using fixed units likepx
or%
, as they don't adapt well to changes in font size or layout. -
Your heading elements are (
<h1><h3>
) missing<h2>
, Heading elements should be in sequentially-descending order (e.g.,<h1>
,<h2>
,<h3>
) to create a clear content structure, improving accessibility and SEO. Skipping levels or using them out of order can confuse screen readers, affect search engine rankings, and make your content harder to understand. -
Using
max-width: 100%
ormin-width: 100%
is more responsive than justwidth: 100%
because they allow elements to adjust better to different screen sizes. To learn more, check out this article: responsive-meaning. -
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. -
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, -
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="" />
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! 🌟
