What I learned

For this project, I had to make use of the ::before and ::after pseudo elements on my own for the first time. I used these to make the two numbers that had circles around them with a verticle line on the top:

.circle-number {
  position: relative;
  display: inline;
}

.circle-number::before {
  content: "";
  border: 1px solid #87879D;
  opacity: .25;
  height: 90px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -110px;
  left: 12px;
}

.circle-number::after {
  content: "";
  padding: 30px 30px;
  border: 1px solid #87879D;
  opacity: .4;
  border-radius: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0;
  left: -19px;
  top: -19px;
}

I am happy with the solution I came up with, it looks pretty spot on and seems to maintain its look no matter what the screen size is. However, I could not quite figure out how to get the second one to overlap with the footer in teh same way as the design file shows.

Continued development

I would like to start writing more semantic HTML, and start making accessibility a much larger focus as I get more comfortable building out pages.

I also need to do more research and practice with background-image. I could not figure out how to achieve the same look for the footer that was in the design file.
