Solution retrospective


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

I'm most proud of completing the challenge and seeing the final result match the original design. I successfully implemented the layout using HTML and CSS, and I improved my understanding of responsive design, especially using Flexbox/Grid. Also, seeing my project live on GitHub Pages felt really rewarding!

Next time, I’d spend more time organizing my CSS. I’d also like to improve accessibility and maybe start learning how to use JavaScript to add interactivity.

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

One of the biggest challenges I faced was getting the layout to match the design exactly — especially aligning elements and spacing them correctly. At first, my layout was breaking on smaller screens, but after experimenting with Flexbox, I was able to fix it.

I also struggled with linking my CSS file correctly at first, and I learned to double-check file paths and folder structures. Lastly, setting up GitHub Pages was new to me, but after reading the documentation and following some tutorials, I was able to get my project live.

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

I’d love feedback on the overall layout and responsiveness — especially how it behaves on smaller screens. I’m still learning how to structure CSS efficiently, so if anyone has tips on organizing styles better or writing cleaner code, I’d appreciate that.

Also, if there are any accessibility improvements I could make, I’d like to learn more about that too

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.
