What specific areas of your project would you like help with?
  • What would be the best way to handle the items in the list? I used anchor HTML tag but would it worth to use buttons?
  • What approach did you recommend for desktop? I only increased the padding but it's almost not noticeable.

    Great job on your solution, Alonso!

    It's important to make a distinction between <button> and <a> tags because tools like screen readers behave differently depending on what kind of tag they encounter.

    In this case, it's better to use the a tag since you are creating links and that is what a tags are meant for. If you used a button, then you would need to put in extra effort to rework the html and css to behave like a button.

    In general, it's easier to develop and better for accessibility to use the appropriate tag.

    Hope this helps!

    Nicely done! Button or anchor would not matter much here. Nice use of list there instead of <div> with class.

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.
