## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

- View the optimal layout for the product card depending on their device's screen size (mobile or desktop)

- See hover and focus states for the "Add to Cart" button

## My process

### Built with

- **Semantic HTML5** for better structure

- **CSS Custom Properties** for maintainable and reusable styling

- **Flexbox** for flexible and responsive layout control

- **Responsive Images** to provide optimal visuals for both mobile and desktop views

- **Mobile-first workflow** to ensure a great user experience on smaller screens

### What I learned

Here are some key learnings from this project:

1. **Font Management with @font-face**:

   - I implemented custom fonts using `@font-face` for a consistent and unique typography style throughout the component.

   ```css

   @font-face {

     font-family: "Fraunces-Italic";

     src: url("./assets/fonts/Fraunces/static/Fraunces_144pt_Soft-Black.ttf")

       format("truetype");

     font-weight: 700;

     font-style: normal;

   }

   ```

2. **Responsive Design Using Media Queries**:

- I used media queries to switch between mobile and desktop layouts. The images are swapped using CSS based on the viewport size.

```css

@media (max-width: 768px) {

  .desktop-image {

    display: none;

  }

  .mobile-image {

    display: block;

  }

}

@media (min-width: 768px) {

  .desktop-image {

    display: block;

  }

  .mobile-image {

    display: none;

  }

}

```

3. **Button Hover Effects**:

- I applied a smooth transition effect to the "Add to Cart" button for a better user interaction experience.

```css

.card-button:hover {

  background-color: var(--dark-cyan-hover);

}

```

### Continued development

Moving forward, I plan to:

- Experiment more with **CSS Grid** for complex layouts

- Enhance my understanding of responsive design techniques like **fluid typography**

- Explore **JavaScript** for adding dynamic interactivity to similar projects

### Useful resources

- [MDN Web Docs - @font-face](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face) - This helped me understand how to implement custom fonts effectively.

- [CSS Tricks - Media Queries](https://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/) - A great guide for understanding and utilizing media queries for responsive design.
