    Hi @gabilucuta,

    Congratulations 🎉 for completing this challenge, the card looks great. There are some issues I want to address:

    1. It is best practice to wrap the main content within the main tag which would ensure that your content is wrapped within the correct landmarks e.g. <main class="container"></main>
    2. You should also wrap the footer within the footer tag e.g. <footer class="attribution"></footer>
    3. Your box-shadow is quite strong therefore I would suggest you to use something like this: box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
    4. To use the center the card, you can use the height property and set it to 100vh however I would suggest you to use this property on the body since the body should cover everything e.g.
    body {
      display: flex;
      align-items: center;
      justify-content: center;
      min-height: 100vh;
      flex-direction: column;
    }
    

    I added the flex-direction: column; since you have a footer.

    Overall, great attempt and wish you the best for your future projects so keep coding 👍.

    👾Hello @gabilucuta, congratulations for your first solution!👋 Welcome to the Frontend Mentor Coding Community!

    Great start and great first solution! You’ve done really good work here putting everything together, I’ve some suggestions you can consider applying to your code:

    1.The value you’ve used for the shadow make it too much dark and strong. To improve your box-shadow, you’ve to have in mind two things that make a good shadow, blur and low opacity for smooth shadows. To improve your current shadow, decrease the opacity and increase the blur, try this value instead: box-shadow: 12px 7px 20px 6px rgb(57 75 84 / 8%);

    If you’re not familiar to box-shadow you can use this site to create the shadow design and then just drop the code into the CSS: https://html-css-js.com/css/generator/box-shadow/

    2.Something I've noticed in your code is that in many occasions you've added some <div> to wrap contents that don't really need to be inside of a div block. Note that for this challenge all you need is a single block to hold all the content, can be <div> or <main> if you want to use a semantic tag to wrap the content, the cleanest structure for this challenge is made by a block of content with div/main and all the content inside of it (img, h1 and p) without need of any other div or something. See the structure below:

    <body>
    <main>
    <img src="./images/image-qr-code.png" alt="Qr Code Image" >
     <h1>Improve your front-end skills by building projects</h1>
    <p>Scan the QR code to visit Frontend Mentor and take your coding skills to the next level</p>
    </main>
    </body>
    

    ✌️ I hope this helps you and happy coding!

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.
