Flexbox to align the card

Solution retrospective
Maybe make better use of Flexbox.
What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?Just to align a few items I had some doubts about regarding what to use.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?I'd like to know if the methods I chose were the right ones, or if there was a better way to do it.

HTML:
-
Every webpage needs a
<main>
element that wraps all of the content, except for<header>
andfooter>
. This is vital for accessibility as it helps screen readers identify a page's "main" content. Wrap the card in a<main>
. -
Instead of an
id
, I recomend giving elements aclass
. This article explains when to use theid
attribute. -
The alt text must also say where it leads(the frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."
-
I would change the heading to a
<h2>
- a page should only have one<h1>
, reserved for the main heading. As this is a card heading, it would likely not be the main heading on a page with several components.
CSS:
-
Make a habit of including a modern CSS Reset at the top of your stylesheet.
-
I recommend adding a bit of
padding
, for example16px
, on thebody
, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens. -
On
*
,margin: 0px
andpadding: 0px
is usually written asmargin: 0
andpadding: 0
. Whenever the value is zero, you don't need to include any units. -
Move
font-family
tobody
. -
On the
body
, changeheight
tomin-height: 100svh
— this way, the content will not be cut off if it grows beneath the viewport. -
Remove all widths and heights in
px
. We rarely want to give a component a fixed size, as we need it to grow and shrink according to the screen size. -
We do want to limit the width of the card so it doesn't get too wide on larger screens. To solve this issue, give the card a max-width of around 20rem.
-
font-size
must never be in px. This is a significant accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default browser setting. Use rem instead. -
To create the space between the image and the edge of the card, set
padding
on all 4 sides of the card:padding: 16px;
-
On the image, remove
margin-top
. Adddisplay: block
,height: auto
andmax-width: 100%
- the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container. Without this, an image would overflow if its intrinsic size is wider than the container.max-width: 100%
makes the image shrink to fit inside its container.

- I am sorry if my comment right now is not high-quality.
- The live site is different here in the comparing section of the image.
- Upon checking, the site, it is great for me. Good Job! Fellow developer
