Solution retrospective


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

I am proud of my color picking for the backgrounds

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

i found it hard to set the background to exactly the same color as specified.

  • I finally used Adobe photoshop to upload the sample image for the project so that i can copy its color code and paste into my css. I also had difficulties in arranging the container with the image within to fit to the screen when reduced to mobile vie.
  • I still think my final solution did not really get the job done.
What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

i would like help in the css particular with setting the container, so that it gets really centered as shown in the sample. in all screen sizes

    HTML Semantics

    You can test your HTML code on the W3C Validator: W3C Validator

    HTML Tags

    • Language Attribute: Add the language attribute to your HTML tag, for example: <html lang="en">
    • Main Container: Wrap your code inside a <main> tag with the class container before any <div> tags:
    <body>
    <main class="container">
    <div class="card"></div>
    </main>
    </body>
    
    • Heading: Replace the <h3> tag with <h1>: <h1>Improve your front-end...</h1> Document Structure: The <h1> tag should be used for the main title of your page. It helps to create a clear and logical structure for your document. Using <h1> ensures that your content is well-organized and easy to navigate.
    • Classes: Use classes to make your code more understandable. For example, for your <div> tag, use class="card" instead of class="container":
    <div class="card"></div>
    

    Design

    • Download the starter files again. Inside, you will find a style-guide.md file that indicates the correct colors to use, text sizes, and fonts.
    • Fonts: Use Google Fonts to apply the correct font.
    • Design File: Download the design file and create a Figma account to open the .fig file. You will find all the necessary information to achieve the same design.

    The QR-Code card is very nicely done, although the design is not centralized vertically on the page, this can be accomplished by using Flexbox/Grid → If you want the easiest & most modern way. Absolute Positioning → If the element has a fixed size.

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.
