Hi there, this is my first solution submitted on Frontend Mentor. I used display:grid to achieve the pricing details layout and am wondering if this could be achieve with flexbox, and if so how? Secondly, which would be the better solution to achieve the pricing details and best practices: grid or flexbox? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Congratulation on completing your 1st frontend challenge. To answer your question is Yes, You can use flexbox on pricing details to align them simply by grouping the music icon and annul plan together like so:

    <div class="price"> <div class="section-price"> <img src="images/icon-music.svg" alt="music-icon"> <div> <h2>Annual Plan</h2> <p>$59.99/year</p> </div> </div> <p class="para-price">Change</p> </div> and you apply CSS flexbox styles .price { display: flex; border-radius: 10px; padding: 10px; gap: 50px; }

    Your second answer is that it comes down to personal preference and what a developer feels is easier for the given task. One way to think about the different uses of Grid and Flexbox is to consider whether your design originates with the content, or from the overall layout. If starting with the content, and working from the most minor parts outwards, then a developer is using Content-First Design. This is an excellent opportunity to use Flexbox because of the flexibility it provides in manipulating code in one dimension - along either rows or columns. If, however, a developer is given a specific overall layout to adhere to and needs explicit placement of elements in two dimensions, using both rows and columns, then Grid would be much better suited.

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.
