    Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge !

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

    HTML 🏷️:

    • The <br> tag is often used to create line breaks, but it doesn't convey any semantic meaning. When a screen-reader reads the text, it will break the flow of reading at the line break tag, which can be confusing for users.

      Use max-width on the paragraph to give it the desired shape and use margin to center it.

    • Wrap the page's whole main content in the <main> tag.

    CSS 🎨:

    • Instead of using pixels in font-size, use relative units like em or rem. The font-size in absolute units like pixels does not scale with the user's browser settings. Resource 📘.
    • Setting the width of the component with a percentage or a viewport unit will behave strangely on mobile devices or large screens. You should use a max-width of 320px or 20rem to make sure that the component will have a maximum width of 320px on any device, also remove the width property with a percentage value.

    I hope you find it useful! 😄 Above all, the solution you submitted is great!

    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 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.
