My process

Built with

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

What I learned

Learnings from this challenge:

• Getting used to writing BEM class names
• Using the align-self: start property to stop the flex item from taking up the whole available width
  • Used on the SVG images and the Learn More buttons
• Adding an aria-label on the anchor tags to describe the purpose of the Learn More links (from the WCAG 2.2 Techniques)

Useful resources

• "How to Prevent Image Stretching With Flexbox" on TechStacker - This helped explain the default behavior of Flexbox on images (or any flex item) and provided a simple solution to modify this to prevent unwanted stretch
