    Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate your suggestions and have already started implementing them. I switched to using <ul> and <li> elements for the buttons, wrapping the text in <a> tags to enhance accessibility. It feels great to know that it will improve keyboard navigation and screen reader support!

    I also integrated font-display: swap in my @font-face rule, which has really improved the user experience by avoiding that awkward blank screen while waiting for the font to load.

    Additionally, I’ve begun using rem units in my media queries instead of px. I see how this makes my design much more responsive and adaptable to different devices and user preferences. I’ll definitely check out the resources you mentioned for further learning!

    Thanks again for your guidance! I’m excited to keep improving and tackling new challenges. 💻

    Exceptional work! You’re showing great skill here. I’ve got a couple of minor suggestions that could make this stand out even more…

    • I would put these into a <ul> <li>, and the text should be wrapped with a <a> so it is accessible with a keyboard using the tab key, Using an <a> tag for navigation is semantically correct, improves accessibility for screen readers, and ensures consistent behavior across browsers, unlike a <button> or a <div> not intended for links.
        <div class="card__buttons">
          <button>GitHub</button>
          <button>Frontend Mentor</button>
          <button>LinkedIn</button>
          <button>Twitter</button>
          <button>Instagram</button>
        </div>
    
    • Using font-display: swap in your @font-face rule improves performance by showing fallback text until the custom font loads, preventing a blank screen (flash of invisible text). The downside is a brief flash when the font switches, but it’s usually better than waiting for text to appear.

    • Using rem or em units in @media queries is better than px because they are relative units that adapt to user settings, like their preferred font size. This makes your design more responsive and accessible, ensuring it looks good on different devices and respects user preferences.

    • While px is useful for precise, fixed sizing, such as border-width, border-radius, inline-padding, and <img> sizes, it has limitations. Pixels don't scale well with user settings or adapt to different devices, which can negatively impact accessibility and responsiveness. For example, using px for font sizes can make text harder to read on some screens, Check this article why font-size must NEVER be in pixels. In contrast, relative units like rem and adjust based on the user’s preferences and device settings, making your design more flexible and accessible. Use px where exact sizing is needed, but prefer relative units for scalable layouts. If you want a deeper explanation watch this video by Kevin Powell CSS em and rem explained. Another great resource I found useful is this px to rem converter based on the default font-size of 16 pixel.

    I hope you’re finding this guidance useful! Keep refining your skills and tackling new challenges with confidence. You’re making great progress—stay motivated and keep coding with enthusiasm! 💻

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.
