I'd like to know where I went wrong about it since obviously, the final result looks way off than the original design.

    👾Hello @AnAvilableUsername, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

    Here's one tip about alignment

    The approach you've used to center this card vertically is not the best way, because using margins you don't have much control over the component when it scales. My suggestion is that you do this alignment with flexbox using the body as a reference for the container.

    The first thing you need to do is to remove the margins used to align it, then apply min-height: 100vh to make the body height size becomes 100% of the screen height, this way you make sure that whatever the situation the child element (the container) align the body with display: flex and align-items: center / justify-items: center.

    body {
        min-height: 100vh;
        background-color: hsl(30deg, 38%, 92%);
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        justify-content: center;
        flex-direction: column;
    }
    

    REMOVE THE MARGIN

    .container__main {
        /* margin: 30rem auto; */
        display: flex;
        background-color: hsl(0deg, 0%, 100%);
        border-radius: 0 1rem 1rem 0;
    }
    

    ✌️ I hope this helps you and happy coding!

    Hi @AnAvilableUsername,

    Congrats on completing the challenge

    You can replace your body with the following one to center the card on the page.

    .container {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
        min-height: 100vh;
        margin: 1rem;
    }
    
    section.container__main {
        margin: 0;
    }
    

    Hope this is helpful.

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.
