Solution retrospective


This is my second project ever, still I wasn't using grid or flexbox. I intend to change it next time, but as for now I wanted to practice basics. What do you think?

I'm feeling like this code is a bit cluttered. Am I right?

    👾Hello @aeishma, Congratulations on completing this challenge!

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

    1.I saw that for some properties you’ve used rem and for others px. In this case, it is better to use only one kind of unit to have a better organization for your code. relative units as rem or em have a better fit if you want your site more accessible between different screen sizes and devices. REM and EM does not just apply to font size, but to all sizes as well.

    2.IMPROVE YOUR WORKFLOW using VSCODE you can code your whole page using px and then in the end use a plugin called px to rem here's the link → https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sainoba.px-to-rem to do the automatic conversion or use this website https://pixelsconverter.com/px-to-rem

    3.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 there! 👋 Here are some suggestions to help improve your code:

    • Apply the recommendations that the other member mentioned, before moving on to the next challenge, so you do not make the same mistakes.

    • Increase 📈 the width of the component to better match the FEM example.

    • The only heading in this challenge is the name of the perfume, “Gabrielle Essence Eau De Parfum” . The rest of the text should be wrapped in a Paragraph Element.

    • 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.

    If you have any questions or need further clarification, let me know.

    Happy Coding! 👻🎃
