Solution retrospective


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

This is my personal record! I have successfully made this simple project in under 2 hours. I am extremely proud of myself for this accomplishment. I used barely any help and references. I was able to be in a constant flow state which had greatly enriched my coding experience.

A major thing I learned in CSS is target very specific elements by using the > key. What I would do differently next time is plan the layout and deeply analyze before actually writing code. For example, I can draw sketches.

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

The only challenges were jogging my memory on pseudo-classes. Other than that, it went smoothly.

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

I need to learn better responsive web design. For example, I need to understand the pixel size differences between a computer, phone, and other technologies. I need my project designs to be consistent with every platform. I also want to delve deeper into how I can make my websites accessible. Generally, I shall improve my craft of HTML and CSS before moving onto JS.

    Hello there 👋. Good job on completing the challenge!

    • You should proper HTML semantic. Instead of using span for name, location, and description, you could've use h1 or p tags. You can learn more about HTML semantics here Semantics - MDN Web Docs Glossary: Definitions of Web-related terms | MDN.
    • Instead of using flex to center text content, try using text-align: center.
    • It seems that you forgot to add a basic CSS reset. You can learn more about it here A Modern CSS Reset.
    • About responsive web design, there are plenty of strategies that you can use to achieve responsiveness, you can learn more here Responsive design - Learn web development | MDN.

    I hope you find it useful! 😄

    Happy coding!

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.
