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

What are you most proud of?

I'm most proud of the clean and responsive layout achieved with Flexbox. The buttons have well-defined hover and focus states, enhancing the user experience and making the design feel interactive and polished.

What would you do differently next time?

Next time, I would focus on improving the accessibility of interactive elements, such as adding aria-labels to buttons for better screen reader support. Additionally, I’d consider experimenting with more advanced CSS features, like CSS Grid, to see if it can offer more flexibility for complex layouts.

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

Achieving Responsive Design:

Challenge: Ensuring the layout adapts well to different screen sizes while maintaining design integrity. Solution: Utilized Flexbox to create a flexible layout that adjusts based on screen width. Applied media queries to tweak styles for various breakpoints, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly design. Creating Interactive States for Buttons:

Challenge: Designing hover and focus states that are both visually appealing and accessible. Solution: Implemented CSS transitions to create smooth hover effects and added focus states to enhance accessibility. Tested the interactive elements across different browsers to ensure consistency. Centering and Aligning Content:

Challenge: Aligning the profile picture and text within the card to ensure a visually balanced layout. Solution: Used Flexbox properties such as align-items and justify-content to center and align content within the card. Fine-tuned margins and padding to achieve the desired visual balance. Ensuring Cross-Browser Compatibility:

Challenge: Making sure the design renders consistently across different browsers. Solution: Conducted thorough testing in major browsers and adjusted styles as needed to address discrepancies. Utilized vendor prefixes where necessary to maintain compatibility.
