Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

This project took a lot longer than I anticipated (a recurring scenario with me), and that was due to scaling down the design while maintaining responsiveness, i.e., font size, container width, and height, and adjusting the CSS grid and flexbox layouts throughout the viewports.

I keep mentioning that I'm going to use clamp(), but I never do. However, I did use it for the 'Our Location' title. It worked great! I need to start following through.

I did follow through with more semantics and using fewer <div>, and also, more comments within my code for better readability .

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Initially, figuring out how to make the header's background image responsive was challenging. The image wasn’t scaling properly across different screen sizes, causing layout issues. After experimenting with background-size values (cover vs. contain), adjusting container heights, and analyzing how the image behaved on different devices, I learned to set background-position: center; and choose the right background-size to ensure the image filled the space accordingly without overflowing or losing quality.

This process involved trial and error—testing different CSS properties, inspecting results in browser dev tools, and fine-tuning your sizes and positions until the header looked perfect on all screens.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

Any tips and advice are always welcome.

Happy coding and blessings to all!

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.
