👾Hello @TheN0rt, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:

1.Use <main> instead of a simple <div> this way you improve the semantics and accessibility showing which is the main block of content on this page. Remember that every page should have a <main> block and that <div> doesn't have any semantic meaning.

2.I saw that for some properties you’ve used rem and for others px. In this case, it is better to use only one kind of unit to have a better organization for your code. relative units as rem or em have a better fit if you want your site more accessible between different screen sizes and devices. REM and EM does not just apply to font size, but to all sizes as well.

3.Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the <picture> tag instead of importing this as an <img> or using a div with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: none with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the <picture> tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the device max-width depending of the device desktop + mobile.

Check the link for the official documentation for <picture> in W3 SCHOOLS: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp

See the example below:

<picture>
  <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
  <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;">
</picture>

Hey @TheN0rt, some suggestions to improve you code:

  • For this challenge you want to use the Picture Element not the Background Image Property. The Background Image Property is mainly used on decorative images NOT images that add value and serve a purpose.

Picture Element will allow your to switch between images in different breakpoints and makes your site load faster by saving bandwidth.

Syntax:

  <picture>
    <source media="(min-width: )" srcset="">
    <img src="" alt="">
  </picture>

Source:

  • Once you fix the image implementation, you'll want to include an Alt text tag with them. Inside that Alt Tag you want to describe what the image is; they need to be readable. Assume you’re describing the image/icon to someone.

  • There is only one heading in this challenge and that is the name of the perfume, “Gabrielle Essence Eau De Parfum”.

  • The old price is not being announced properly to screen readers. You want to wrap it in a Del Element and include a sr-only text explaining that this is the old price.

Your CSS Reset is extremely bare and being underutilized. To fully maximize your CSS reset, you want to add more to it.

This is not enough:

* {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
    font-size:14px
}

Here are few CSS Resets that you can look at and use to create your own or just copy and paste one that is already prebuilt.
