Solution retrospective


Any feedback on the use of CSS grids would be appreciated! Could I have avoided the use of a grid within a grid here? Could the basis of the grid be more flexible and therefore less layout adjustments in the media queries? TIA!

    Hey, Jessica Strachan! 👋

    Good work on this challenge! Your solution looks good and responds rather well! 👏

    You can definitely only use once CSS grid for this challenge (and that would probably be preferred), by adding some rows to your grid using grid-template-rows property. Then, you can use the grid-row property for each CSS grid child element to specify which row it should be in (it works just like grid-column). You can make the white testimonial box on the far left span all of the rows of your grid by adding grid-row: 1 / -1; to it.

    Also, you can experiment with the auto-fit and auto-fill CSS grid properties to create a responsive grid without any media queries, but it might not be a bad idea to use one or two media queries to manually change the layout of the grid in a simpler challenge like this. 😉

    Keep coding (and happy coding, 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 all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

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.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
