What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I attempted to use what I learned about HTML structure from previous challenges to make this one a bit better. I used the mobile-first technique starting from a screen width of 320px. Before submitting my design, I adjusted the screen resolution and font-size on my computer to check for accessibility and readability across the different screen sizes in devtools.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

I wasn't sure what to do about the background image svg. I'm not familiar with svg, so I just treated it as a regular image and changed the background color alongside it to match the design jpg the best I could.

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

Is there a better, more complete way to check for accessibility on top of what I already talked about doing? To adjust my font-size, I did System Settings > Displays > Larger Text, went with the largest option, and then viewed my design in my normal browser AND through responsive design in devtools. I also looked at the live page on my phone. Everything obviously looked fine on my end, but I worry that I am missing something by not checking a certain setting.

Sounds like a great process!

I like to also browse through the page with a screenreader to make sure buttons and images are announced correctly. Screenreaders have lots of key shortcuts for navigation, but I find just using tab and the arrow keys eliminates a lot of guesswork regarding the HTML. I'm on Windows, so I use NVDA.

Lighthouse inside Chrome DevTools can catch some accessibility issues as well! It usually complains about color contrast.
