My process

I did the layout really quick, I just got stuck in the icons. And also I had surgery on my wisdom teeth so I paused this challenge for a few days.

Built with

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

What I learned

I'm really proud of this, because I feel like I achieved the fluency of the responsive design. I feel like I have no breakpoints, I feel like my page looks good in any size and that's something I haven't done before. I also used relative units such as rem and %, and I'm happy with how it looks.

Continued development

I really need to keep learning about Responsive Design and relative units.

Useful resources

• Font Awesome - I used the icons from Font Awesome.
• Font Awesome Libraries - I was so stuck with how to link my icons to my html and this page finally did it well! I tried many pages and links but it didn't work, only this one.
• Sitepoint - This article made me understand rem units and introduced me to the 62.5% trick!
