    HTML:

    • I would have a <div class="card"> inside of the <main>, since a card would likely not be the only main content on a page.

    • The alt text should be written naturally, without using - between the words. The alt text must also say where it leads(frontendmentor website). A good alt text would be "QR code leading to the Frontend Mentor website."

    • I would remove .footnote, as that text is already in the card.

    • .attribution should be a <footer>, and you should use <p> for the text inside.

    CSS:

    • Including a CSS Reset at the top is good practice.

    • I like to add 1rem of padding on the body, to ensure the card doesn't touch the edges on small screens.

    • On body, remove margin and width - it is a block element, meaning it takes up the full width by default. Change height to min-height - this way, the content will not get cut off if it grows beneath the viewport.

    • Remove all widths and heights.

    • Add a max-width of around 20rem on the card, to prevent it from getting too wide on larger screens.

    • font-size must never be in px. This is a big accessibility issue, as it prevents the font size from scaling with the user's default setting in the browser. Use rem instead.

    • Paragraphs have a default value of font-weight: 400, so there is no need to declare it.

    • Since all of the text should be centered, you only need to set text-align: center on the body, and remove it elsewhere. The children will inherit the value.

    • Remove font-style: normal, as that is the default value.

    • On the image, add display: block and max-width: 100% - the max-width prevents it from overflowing its container.

    Looks good just needs to touching up on the margin and padding specifically with the text.

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.
