Responsive Recipe Page with CSS Flexbox & Grid

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

I'm most proud of how I made the recipe page fully responsive using CSS Grid and Flexbox. It adapts well to different screen sizes, from mobile to desktop, which improves user experience. I also focused on clean and structured code, making it easier to maintain. Additionally, I ensured good color contrast and readability, following accessibility guidelines to make the page more user-friendly.

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

1. Responsive Design Adjustments Challenge: Ensuring that the layout looked good across different screen sizes, especially aligning elements properly. Solution: I used CSS Grid and Flexbox effectively and tested the design at multiple breakpoints to ensure it adapted well.

2. Box Shadow Visibility Challenge: The box-shadow effect was too subtle, making it hard to notice. Solution: I experimented with different shadow values, adjusting opacity and spread until I achieved a better visual effect.

3. Text Alignment in Nutrition Section Challenge: The nutrition values (e.g., "0g", "22g") were not aligning as expected. Solution: I identified that display: flex; justify-content: space-between; in the .nutrition div was pushing the values to the right. I adjusted the styling to ensure proper alignment.

4. Learning HSL Color System Challenge: Understanding how HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) works when defining colors. Solution: I experimented with different values and compared them with traditional hex codes to get a better grasp of HSL.

These challenges helped me improve my CSS skills and debugging approach. If I face similar issues in the future, I'll have a much quicker way to solve them. 😊

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

Responsive Design Improvements – While I’ve made the page adapt to different screen sizes, I’d love feedback on optimizing layouts for better readability on larger screens.

Accessibility Enhancements – I want to ensure my project meets WCAG standards, especially in terms of color contrast, font sizes, and keyboard navigation.

Code Optimization – I’d like guidance on best practices for writing cleaner, more efficient HTML & CSS to improve maintainability.
