I initially considered starting with a grid display; however, I learned that it is important to first examine the project thoroughly and then break it down into manageable parts. Ultimately, I utilized a flexbox layout to achieve the desired results.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?Challenge: Getting the two-column layout (price/features and "Why Us") to work correctly, especially making it responsive.
How to Overcome: "I initially struggled with using floats for the layout, which caused some issues with responsiveness. I switched to Flexbox, which made it much easier to control the alignment and behavior of the columns, especially on smaller screens. I used media queries to ensure the columns stacked vertically when the screen width became too narrow."
Challenge: Centering the "Sign Up" button.
How to Overcome: "Centering the button was trickier than I anticipated. I tried text-align: center but that didn't work because it's an inline element. I realized I needed to make it a block-level element using display: block and then use margin: 0 auto to center it horizontally."
Challenge: Getting the rounded corners and the box shadow on the main container to look right.
How to Overcome: "I used border-radius for the rounded corners, but I noticed some content was overflowing. I fixed this by adding overflow: hidden to the container. The box shadow was straightforward with box-shadow, but I tweaked the values to get the subtle effect I wanted."
Challenge: Styling the price, especially the currency symbol and the "per month" text.
How to Overcome: "I used <span> tags to style the currency symbol and the 'per month' text separately. I adjusted the font-size and vertical-align for the currency symbol to make it look like a superscript. For 'per month,' I used a smaller font size and a lighter color."
Design/User Experience Challenges:
Challenge: Making sure the card was visually appealing and easy to understand at a glance.
How to Overcome: "I experimented with different color combinations and font choices. I paid attention to the hierarchy of information, making the price the most prominent element. I also made sure there was enough white space to avoid a cluttered look."
Challenge: Deciding what information to include in the card and how to present it concisely.
How to Overcome: "I focused on the key selling points and kept the text brief and to the point. I used bullet points for the features to make them easy to scan. I considered what a user would need to know quickly before making a decision."
Challenge: Ensuring the button was clearly a call to action.
How to Overcome: "I used a contrasting color for the button and made sure the text was clear and compelling ('Sign Up'). I also made it large enough to be easily clickable, especially on mobile devices."
