    did you not have access to the figma file? if not i'll just give some general advice

    some general critiques:

    • your accordion is not accessible for screen readers. i would suggest adding attributes such as aria-hidden for the accordion content and aria-expander to the button.
    • i would avoid giving inline styles. if you're adding these through javascript, it's better to add/remove classes instead
    • this is probably opinionated but don't use </hr> and use border-bottom instead. then :last-child to remove the border from the last element per the graphics.
    • i wouldn't want to position the accordion via position:absolute as the card shifts when you open an accordion. i would instead, for example, use margin-top: -100px to and position:relative; z-index: 3; to have the accordion overlap with the background pattern. an additional negative side effect to using position absolute here is that it gets ruined for mobile users.

    i hope this helps

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.
