    Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

    I have other suggestion about your code that might interest you.

    • Use min-height: 100vh instead of height. Setting the height to 100vh may result in the component being cut off on smaller screens, such as a mobile phone in landscape orientation.

    I hope you find it useful! 😄

    Happy coding!

    Hey there! Great job completing your first challenge! 🎊

    I have some suggestions for your code that might interest you.

    HTML 📄:

    • Instead of using the <div> tag for your containers, try using some semantic HTML to provide more meaning to it, for better SEO. For example, instead of using <div> you could use the <main> or <section> tag. For the element with the classname attribution you could use the <footer> tag.
    • If an <img> like in this case the QR-code, leads to a website or links to someplace else, try to provide a more descriptive text of that in your ALT text, for example: QR code that leads to the website frontendmentor.io

    CSS 🎨:

    • To make your project more responsive and adaptable (in this case as well: especially when you start building bigger and bigger projects), I would suggest to use rem instead of px. This basically means that all sizing will be calculated in relation to the root element (rem). To set the standard font-size for the root element, you can provide a font-size inside the HTML element inside your CSS. For example: html {font-size: 15px;}.

    For more information on this topic, you can read the following article: PX or REM in CSS?

    • To make your solution responsive for different devices and screen widths, you can create a media query inside your CSS file and set the breaking point (i.e. the moment your media query gets triggered based on the width of the viewport). For example: @media (max-width: 375px) { ***Place your CSS code here, just like you would in a regular CSS file***}.

    For more information on this topic, you can read the following article: Media queries

    I hope you find my suggestions useful, and above all: the solution you provided is very good!

    Keep it up 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.
