My process

Built with

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

What I learned

I learned to use flexbox more effiently to implement layout. In this chjallenge I used row-gap to space out the sections as per the design. I also applied code organisation to logically group and comment the code to improve maintainablity.

Continued development

I signed up for Frontend Masters and am following the CSS learning path.

Useful resources

• Semantic markup for card blocks - helped me to use semantic markup in a realistic context
• Organizing your CSS - This article helped me to apply code organisation to the CSS file.
