My process

Built with

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

What I learned

<!-- Using the visually-hidden class, aswell as aligning the prices neatly -->
<div class="product-price-container">
  <p class="product-price" aria-label="Current price">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Current price:</span>
    $149.99
  </p>
  <p class="product-old-price" aria-label="Original price">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Original price:</span>
    <s>$169.99</s>
  </p>
</div>
/* Might change this style in the future, as it would get too big for large projects */
:root {
  /* ! Do not use these directly */
  --_color-primary:                 hsl(0, 0%, 100%);
  --_color-secondary:               hsl(212, 21%, 14%);
  --_color-tertiary:                hsl(158, 36%, 37%);
  --_color-quaternary:              hsl(228, 12%, 48%);
  --_color-quinary:                 hsl(30, 38%, 92%);

  --color-button-background:        var(--_color-tertiary);
  --color-button-active-background: var(--_color-secondary);
  --color-button-text:              var(--_color-primary);
  --color-price-label:              var(--_color-tertiary);
  --color-price-old:                var(--_color-quaternary);
  --color-body-text:                var(--_color-quaternary);
  --color-heading-text:             var(--_color-secondary);
  --color-page-background:          var(--_color-quinary);
  --color-product-background:       var(--_color-primary);
  --color-attribution-text:         var(--_color-primary);
  --color-attribution-background:   var(--_color-secondary);

  --font-family-primary:    "Montserrat", sans-serif;
  --font-family-accent:     "Fraunces", serif;

  --font-family-body:     var(--font-family-primary);
  --font-family-heading:  var(--font-family-accent);
  --font-family-price:    var(--font-family-accent);

  --font-weight-regular:  500;
  --font-weight-bold:     700;

  --font-size-body:       0.875rem; /* 14px */
  --font-size-heading:    2rem; /* 32px */

  --product-mobile-width: 23.4375rem; /* 375px */

  /* Centers content of the body, the card in this case. */
  min-height: 100vh;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;

  /* Previously i used this to Center vertically and horizontally,
  however this broke the right part of the card on desktop(height mismatch between left and right side), likely caused by the way flexbox handles paddings and margins. I switched my method of centering here to body due to this. */
  .product-container {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;

    min-height: 100vh;
    margin-inline: auto;
  }
}

Useful resources

  • ChatGPT - Helped me figure out how to put the cart icon to the left of the button text, also helped me pick CSS custom property names(for me this was the hardest part - the naming of CSS variables).
  • YouTube - Kewin Powell - Taught me a better way of aligning the prices part, aswell as the visually-hidden class, my previous solution to this was lacking.
