Solution retrospective


What are you most proud of, and what would you do differently next time?

I was able to replicate the design as closely as possible.

What challenges did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?

Positioning the container to the center of the screen even after using the flex properties. I used the margin-top to overcome this issue.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I would like to know about other methods using CSS which I can implement to complete this challenge. How can I improve my current CSS code and common practices I should follow while writing CSS code.

    Nice well done. These are the few things you can change in your CSS

    • margin: 0; on the body, you can place it inside the CSS reset
    • margin on the h1 and p tag can be removed, instead add padding on the .container.
    • padding on the image can also be removed if you add padding on the .container.
    • To place the center of the page add this on the body.
    body {
        /* margin: 0; */
        background-color: hsl(212, 45%, 89%);
        font-family: 'Outfit', sans-serif;
        // add these lines
        min-height: 100vh;
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
        justify-content: center;
        align-items: center;
    }
    

    I hope you find this helpful. Keep it up 👌👍

    I used CSS variables to define properties like colors and spacing. You missed applying the h1 color, as shown in the Figma file. You should try to learn about using flexboxes; it would've helped you with the positioning issue you mentioned. Also on the Figma file you would find some tips about the size of the content and the qr-code image, spacing, gaps, etc.

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.
