    HTML:

    • Every webpage needs a <main> that wraps all of the content, except for <header> and footer>. This is vital for accessibility, as it helps screen readers identify a page's "main" section. Make .container a <main>.

    • Use class instead of id.

    • Headings should always be in order, so you never start with a <h3>. The main heading for a page should be an <h1>. However, this card would likely be one of several components on a page - hence it should be a <h2>, as there can be only one <h1>.

    • Change the alt text on the profile image to "Headshot of Gary Hooper".

    • "Greg Hooper" is a <p>.

    CSS:

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

    • I like to add 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

    • Remove padding-top on .container.

    • Add min-height: 100svh on body, so the card gets centered vertically.

    • Except for the profile image, remove all widths and heights.

    • 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.

    • Add display: inline-block on "Learning", so it doesn't take up the full width. Add padding to create space around between the text and the border.

    • Remove the margin-left and margin-right - instead, add padding on all sides of the card:padding: 1rem.

    • On the top image, remove the margin. Add display: block and max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.

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.
