    HTML:

    • The alt text must also say where it leads(frontendmentor website).

    • Use <p> for the footer text.

    CSS:

    • It is best practice to write CSS in a separate file, often called style.css. Create one in the same folder as the index.html, and link to it in the <head>: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">.

    • Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.

    • Add around 1rem of padding on the body, so the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

    • Remove the margin on the card.

    • To center the card and the footer horizontally and vertically, use Flexbox on the body. You must also add some space between them using gap:

    display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
min-height: 100svh;
gap: 2rem;

    • Remove the width on the card - setting fixed sizes in px is not recommended, as we want our components to be able to adapt to different screens.

    • Add a max-width of around 20rem on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens.

    • font-size must never be in px. This is a big accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead.

    • Since all of the text should be centered, you only need to set text-align: center on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value.

    • I would increase the padding on the card to around 16px.

    • On the image, add display: block and change width to max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. Remove the z-index, it is not needed.

    Hope this is helpful - good luck :)

    Hello everything is fine? My name is Lucas, nice to meet you. A suggestion for your code is to use display flex, to center the container div in the center of the page, using align-items center and justify-content center.
