Good day. I am more likely a backend developer. I take on the challenge because I want to be a full-stack developer. Please give me any tips on how to start being a front-end developer. Your comments are highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Hi codecolastudio, how are you? Welcome to the front-end mentor community! I really liked the result of your project, but I have some tips that I think you will enjoy:

    Images must have alt text unless it is a decorative image, for any decorative image each IMG tag must have empty alt="" and add aria-hidden="true" attributes to make all the assistive technologies of the Web, as screen reader. Learn the differences between decorative/meaningless images vs important content.

    To improve the structure of the html document, prefer to wrap all the content with the main tag, since this challenge is just a component, it needs a main tag to know what the main content of the page is!

    To improve the accessibility of the project you could have put an h1. Every page must contain a level 1 header, for people who use screen readers, identity what the main title is and follow the sequence h1-h5

    <h1>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h1>

    The rest is great!

    I hope it helps... 👍

    Hi, @cruz-jerwin15!

    To answer your question on how to start being a Front-End developer, it all starts with educating yourself. I would suggest a course on "Udemy" made by Colt Steele or taking on the steps from "FreeCodeCamp" or both. That is what i am currently doing. Also helps to learn to do challenges here. I believe that you learn the most by doing it and making mistakes.

    Now onto your project and my suggestions:

    • Your page should contain landmarks, so it makes your code easier to read on what content is what and also helps screen-readers to figure out what is what. In this case your card should be wrapped withing main tags and your attribution should be wrapped within footer tags.
    • Try to avoid using px values as much as possible and use rem instead.
    • Try to start using "custom CSS properties". While this is not essential in this project, it is a good habit to develop.

    Hope this helps!
