• Created semantic HTML first
• Created CSS selectors to:
  • create custom variables to contain the various colours, font sizes font weights used in the design
  • used a CSS reset
  • layout the design using Grid and Flexbox
  • style the various elements
  • added in :focus styling for accessibility purposes
  • create a different width layout for mobile version turning the component into a single grid column

• Semantic HTML markup
• CSS custom properties
• Grid
• Flexbox
• Desktop-first workflow (responsive design)
• Google Font

I didn't learn anything new on this project, but did gain some extra practice with using a grid layout. From a blog post I read, using the 62.5% trick isn't ideal, so I redid my CSS to remove that particular CSS trick and use CSS variables to hold the values of appropriate font sizes in rems.

Create more designs that have a more complicated grid layout, to gain extra practice using CSS grid.
