My questions are:-

  • when the user clicks on the learn more button, the animation for the border coming is choppy and bad. How can I get the border to come out a lot smoother.

    Hey this looks great.

    The semantics are pretty much perfect. The only thing I'd maybe change is to make the features in each card into a list, rather than just a set of spans.

    On the issue of your layout changing when you click on a button, that's because you have a focus style of border: 2px dashed black. Changing a border size will change the size of an element, so everything else will redraw. This will be slow when animating, and you'll get jumps. You have two options to avoid this. Either you always have a border, and you just change border-color from transparent to some other value. That way the size won't change, only whether you can see the border Or, use outline instead. Outline is not calculated in the element size so won't cause any layout shift.

    The other thing to change there would be to use :focus-visible rather than :focus so it only appears on keyboard interaction, not on mouse click.

    One other minor point. Your pricing toggle is great, well done for using a fieldset/radio. But, I would expect to be able to click anywhere on the switch to toggle it. At the moment you have to carefully click on one side or the other. To improve the UX of that you could make both inputs span the whole width of the toggle control. And then make the z-index of the unchecked one higher than the checked one. That way, whenever you click anywhere on the toggle it will switch the value of it. Something like:

    input[type='radio']:not(:checked) {
      z-index: 2;
    }
    

    Finally if you wrap your prices in an <output> tag with a label (aria-label or visually hidden label) then when they change because you've toggled, those changes will get read out by a screen reader.

    Hi! Mohsin, Bro I checked your work and you did it really nice.

    My personal suggestion

    Please event listener on toggle button container. As I checked that if I click on the left space properly only then toggle works properly and same for right blank space to reverse back. It should be working smooth. So I think it need to be fix.

    Your question's answer

    button:focus {
        border: 2px dashed black;
        opacity: .75;
    }
    

    from above rule Line No 204 replace border with outline like below:

    button:focus {
        outline: 2px dashed black;
        opacity: .75;
    }
    

    Then it will work perfectly.

    I think my suggestion, solution will help you (I am sure it will solve, I have tested)

    Good Luck

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.
