👾Hello @im7ven, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

Your solution its almost done and I’ve some tips to help you to improve it:

Use the THE PICTURE TAG that is a shortcut to deal with the multiple images in this challenge. So you can use the <picture> tag instead of importing this as an <img> or using a div with background-image. Use it to place the images and make the change between mobile and desktop, instead of using a div or img and set the change in the css with display: none with the tag picture is more practical and easy. Note that for SEO / search engine reasons isn’t a better practice import this product image with CSS since this will make it harder to the image. Manage both images inside the <picture> tag and use the html to code to set when the images should change setting the device max-width depending of the device desktop + mobile.

Check the link for the official documentation for <picture> in W3 SCHOOLS: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_picture.asp

See the example below:

<picture>
  <source media="(max-width:650px)" srcset="./images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
  <img src="./images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Parfum" style="width:auto;">
</picture>

Hey @im7ven, some suggestions to improve you code:

  • The Alt Tag description for the image needs to be improved upon. You want to describe what the image is; they need to be readable. Assume you’re describing the image to someone.

  • When using images that are different size for different breakpoints, its’ far more effective to use the <picture> element. By using this element not are able to use different size images, you can also save on bandwidth, meaning your content loads faster.

Syntax:

  <picture>
    <source media="(min-width: )" srcset="">
    <img src="" alt="">
  </picture>

  • The "shopping cart" icon is decorative, so its Alt Tag needs to be left blank.

  • The old price is not being announced properly to screen readers. You want to wrap it in a Del Element and include a sr-only text explaining that this is the old price.

  • A lot of the headaches and and repeated properties can be be overcome by implementing a proper CSS Reset.

This is not enough:

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

Here are few CSS Resets that you can look at and use to create your own or just copy and paste one that is already prebuilt.
