Solution retrospective


Hey there,

This is my solution to the news homepage challenge. My goal was to make the markup as accessible and the design as close to Figma as possible.

The HTML is enhanced by schema.org to add some structured data to each news article, optimizing it for search engines. The hero image is responsive and loads depending on the viewport's size, thanks to srcset and sizes.

The CSS uses latest standards such as the media query range syntax, the new color function syntax, custom properties, variable fonts, and more.

Everything was optimized for semantics and accessibility, especially the mobile menu. Some techniques used are focus traps, aria attributes, and media query change listeners. Let me know what you think :)

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
