Am in my first few weeks of learning, but wanted to get responses on possibly a simpler way of formatting this without using quite so many classes. Any input appreciated.

    Hi Monica,

    I'm afraid this doesn't work at all on mobile. And I can see purely from the code that this approach wouldn't work great for desktop either, sorry 😕

    The main crux of the problem is using absolute units for everything,which results in a static layout that only looks right on your exact screen size + resolution.

    Suggestions:

    • learn about relative units like % vh vw fr
    • learn a bit of flexbox (there's some great resources on the resources page to help with this
    • look into what alt text is for / how it works. (Much better to leave alt attributes blank for decorative images)
    • start with mobile layouts before moving on to larger screens - look into min-width media queries.
    • Make sure your html would make sense of just written as a document with no styles. (You can even turn styles off in the browser to preview!) eg. the numbers in your html would make no sense if read out on their own without their corresponding labels (like 'followers')

    I hope that's helpful. Keep learning, and remember all this stuff takes time! ☺

    Hey Monica, nice try, but there some issues you can easily fix. First, add your your pattern images as background-image with css, this will fix positioning and overflow issues. And work on previous feedback.

    Cheers, Roman

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.
