    Hi Andrew, 👋

    1. What is the best way to center this card?
    • replaced your classes into this classes grid place-items-center.
      Use place-items-center to place grid items in the center of their grid areas on both axis.
    • Check this out for your reference: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/place-items
    1. How can I change the background color of the page?
    • to change the background color of the page just simply add the body tag a class of bg-(your desired color).
    • Check this out for your reference: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/background-color

    You can also check my solution to this challenge. I am also using tailwindcss. https://www.frontendmentor.io/solutions/qr-sKgoF9EIik

    Hi Andrew,

    Just some feedback for your design.

    Firstly well done on completing the assignment.

    Secondly, you must always make sure to run your code through HTML/CSS validators, to show you errors, etc. There are quite a few errors, so maybe slow down and focus on lean and cleaner code

    Also, when looking at the brief, it seems that your typography and line spacing are incorrect.

    as well as your padding, and margins are not fluent.

    I quick and easy way to centre your container is by setting the body element:

    body { margin: 100px auto; backgroud-color: hex color; }

    Please take a look at my solution for an example:

    Happy coding :) and please mark if this was helpful.

    Answering your two questions, add these properties on body css

    body { display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; background-color: hsl(212, 45%, 89%); }

    To align using body you need to put your qr code card inside a container.

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.
