Solution retrospective


This is my first every challenge taken here so this is not perfect but, I believe this is pretty good. And also in my live website, I happened to use the slate theme from Github pages so the buttons are black and stuff. Nevertheless, I am really glad I took this challenge.

    Hey @DummyKen 👋🏻 Ken's here 😅

    I have some suggestions to help you fix the accessibility and HTML issues.

    • In your markup, <section class="card">...</section> should be <main class="">...</main> and <div class="attribution">...</div> should be <footer class="attribution">...</footer>. These will fix the accessibility and HTML issues. Don't forget to generate a new repot once you fix the issues.
    • For the music icon, add aria-hidden="true”, because it's for decoration. You can read more about aria-hidden here. To illustrate:
    <img src="./images/icon-sedans.svg" alt="" aria-hidden="true”>
    
    • Also, I suggest adding transition: all 0.2s; to the button and the links, this will make :hover smoother.
    • I've made a couple of changes in .card, to fix border-radius and some other things, so here it is:
    .card {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: row;
        width: 700px;
        border-radius: 10px;
        overflow: hidden;
    }
    

    as you can see, I omitted height because fixed height prevents your website from being fully responsive. Also, I omitted margin because I have a different suggestion to help you fix the card in the center.

    • Now let's bring the card to the center of the scree:
    body {
        background: hsl(0, 0%, 95%);
        min-height: 100vh;
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        flex-direction: column;
    }
    

    I just used flexbox, which will make sure that on any viewport width, the card is positioned correctly.

    • Lastly, I won't go into details about resetting CSS, but I'll leave this cool article here, which will make more sense than my brief explanation.

    I hope this was helpful 👨🏻‍💻 Other than that, you did a great job for the first project, well done. Cheers 👾

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
