Is there a better way to center the component? I used flexbox and set the page height to 98vh (I assume this isn't best practice).

    • the body is usually set to min-height: 100vh , I would go on and say that should be the best practice.
    • the image should have an alt value, it seems to me to carry a message. The message could be something like alt="QR code for Frontend mentor"
    • landmark elements are one of the building blocks of a website, this challenge should at least have the main element.
    • for font sizes , it is recommended to use rems - using px values is not recommended. See the following article for further explanation. Why font-size must NEVER be in pixels

    Happy coding

    vh doesn’t take into account address bar in mobile browsers or non floating scroll bars. There is the dvh option dynamic viewport height sizing but it lacks full browser support. The video below covers sizing containers and then use flexbox Justify-content and aligh-items to center the Flexbox content.

    This YT video might help… (https://youtu.be/-sF5KsEo6gM?si=vpMXHedXC4cfjVP7)

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
