My process

Built with

• Semantic HTML5 markup
• CSS custom properties
• Flexbox
• Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

Working on this project helped me reinforce my understanding of:

• CSS Custom Properties: Using variables for consistent styling across the project.
• Flexbox: Aligning and distributing space among items in a container.
• Responsive Design: Ensuring the layout adapts well to different screen sizes using media queries.

Code snippets I’m proud of:

<figure>
    <img src="images/image-omelette.jpeg" alt="A plate of served omelette with a golden-brown crust" role="img" aria-label="Served omelette">
</figure>

body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    font-family: 'Young Serif', serif; 
    background-color: var(--stone-100);
    line-height: 1.6;
    font-size: 16px;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column; 
    align-items: center;
    min-height: 100vh;
}

.instructions-steps li::before {
    content: counter(list-counter) ". ";
    color: hsl(14, 45%, 36%);
    position: absolute;
    left: -30px;
    top: 0;
    font-weight: 700;
}

Continued development

In future projects, I aim to:

• Explore CSS Grid: For more complex layouts and design patterns.
• Improve Accessibility: By testing and enhancing the accessibility features of the website.
• Experiment with JavaScript: To add interactive elements and dynamic content.
