I'm trying to complete these challenges with the BEM naming strategy but it's hard for me come up with good ones. Any suggestions on how I should name my classes?

    Hey, Papa Elhadj Abdoulaye NDOYE! 👋

    Good work on this challenge! Your solution looks good! 👍

    I suggest using CSS background images to add and position the two background SVGs since they are... background images! That'll make your HTML markup a little cleaner. Here's a helpful article on using multiple CSS background images, if you'd like to take a look. 😉

    Keep coding (and happy coding, too)! 😁

    Naming can be so tricky sometimes! Good effort on the BEM so far, however I did notice one thing:

    Lines 27 and 32 card__content__top and card__content__bottom are quite different and going by your css they don't have many styles in common for them to be considered the same element of __content. I would personally call them card__main and card__footer. Or if it was a section at the top card__header.

    In the instance that you did have styles that were mostly the same, just a different positioning you would use a BEM class like so: class="card__content card__content--top" and class="card__content card__content--bottom" and this is where using SASS really helps with using BEM classes because of the nesting:

    .card
        *card styles here*
    
        &__content
            *card__content styles here*
    
            &--top
                *Unique styles for the top*
    
            &--bottom
                *Unique styles for the bottom*

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.
