Amazing job with this! You’re making fantastic progress. Here are some small tweaks that might take your solution to the next level…

  • Your <ul> <li> text should be wrapped with a <a> so it is accessible with a keyboard using the tab key,
 <ul>
      <li>GitHub</li>
      <li>Frontend Mentor</li>
      <li>LinkedIn</li>
      <li>Twitter</li>
      <li>Instagram</li>
    </ul>
  • This does not matter that much at this stage but something to be mindful of for SEO(Search Engine Optimisation), <meta> description tag missing.

  • 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.

  • Setting the width and height for an <img> helps the page load faster and prevents content from jumping around as the image loads. This is good for performance and improves user experience. However, if your image needs to keep a consistent shape (aspect ratio) across different screen sizes, it's better to use the CSS aspect-ratio property instead.

  • It is important to have 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 use alt text to understand the image's context, helping your site rank better, Check this out Write helpful Alt Text to describe images,

  • 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

  • Using max-width: 100% or min-width: 100% is more responsive than just width: 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, use rem or em, 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.

Great job taking the time to learn! Your efforts are paying off, and I hope these insights guide you to even more success. Keep pushing forward, and remember, you’ve got this! Enjoy your coding adventures! 💪
