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

This is my solution for the Product Preview Card challenge on Frontend Mentor. I built it using HTML5 and CSS3, combining CSS Grid and Flexbox. The design is somewhat responsive but could use improvement. I would love to get your feedback on both the code structure and the visual design.

    Hello Vinayagam K, how are you? I was really pleased with your project, but I’d like to offer some advice that might help:

    Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the <picture> tag instead of importing this as an <img> or using a div with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: none with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the <picture> tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the device max-width depending of the device desktop + mobile.

    Check the link for the official documentation for <picture> in W3 SCHOOLS: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp

    See the example below:

    <picture>
      <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
      <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;">
    </picture>
    

    The rest is spot on.

    Hope it’s helpful to you. 👍

    Hi Vinayagam and congratulations on completing this challenge! 👏

    I have some suggestions that might help you:

    • Semantic : don't forget to include semantic tags in your html code as for example "header", "main", "section" "footer"... to be really clear about the structure of the code;

    • Use the html <picture> tag for to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop : it's more convenient and saves you having to use display block/none. For example :

    <picture>
      <source media="(min-width:620px)" srcset="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg">
      <img src="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg" alt="illustration of 'Gabrielle' by Chanel" width="686" height="480">
    </picture>
    

    See the documentation on W3Schools

    Now for the design part :

    • For desktops, the component is to big compared to the solution, and must be centered. You can center it both horizontally and vertically using for example Flexbox :
    .container {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: column;
      justify-content: center;
      align-items: center;
    }
    
    • The responsive is pretty good but needs to be improved when it comes to small devices layout. There's an excellent free tutorial "Conquering Responsive layouts" - 21 day challenge by Kevin Powell, you can find it here :

    Conquering Responsive layouts, by K.P.

    Hope that'll be helpful.

    Cheers and keep coding ! 😄👍

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.
