Solution retrospective


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

Without figma files to base the layout on, (budget : $0.00 😅) I found it challenging to get a close match to the jpg design images.

To solve this, I pasted the design images directly into the HTML, with position: absolute and opacity: 0.5 to see where my layout was different from the original.

I hope it's turned out okay; (but I have been burned by the automatic screenshot on here using an elderly browser version before, so it might not look like it! 😤)

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

I experimented using min() and max() to dynamically adjust the width and padding of the element, but I haven't quite figured out how to make those changes feel proportionate - so that they happen at the same time and same rate.

Any tips on that would be appreciated!

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 1st-party linked stylesheets, and styles within <style> tags.

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.
