Responsive CSS Grid & Flexbox Testimonials with Custom Properties

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

I’m most proud of crafting a fully mobile-first grid that gracefully transitions into the exact 4-column desktop layout—using named grid-template-areas made the markup clean and the positioning crystal-clear. Next time, I’d integrate a CSS preprocessor or design-token system to centralize breakpoints, spacing and color variables, which would speed up theme tweaks and reduce repetition.

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

Getting the tall right-side card and large quotation SVG to layer perfectly required juggling stacking contexts and pulling the <h2> summary forward with a z-index. Matching the style-guide’s exact HSL values also took some iterative tweaking in the browser dev-tools.

What specific areas of your project would you like help with?

I’d love feedback on optimizing my CSS—especially selector specificity and file size—plus any best practices for implementing truly responsive typography (for example, using clamp() or modular scales). I’m also keen on improving accessibility: suggestions for ARIA attributes, keyboard focus management, or screen-reader announcements would be hugely appreciated.
