Your mini-project
- Time to put it all together and build a profile card.
- Here is what you are aiming for:
<style>
.card { width: 280px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; text-align: center;
background-color: #f8fafc; border: 1px solid #cbd5e1; border-radius: 12px; }
h2 { color: teal; margin: 8px 0; }
</style>
<div class="card">
<img src="/static/code/web-basics/cat.svg" alt="My avatar" width="120">
<h2>Sam Lee</h2>
<p>I love drawing and football.</p>
</div>
What you've learned
- HTML: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, forms, page structure.
- CSS: colours, text, the box model, spacing, sizing, and rows with Flexbox.
- That is the real foundation of every web page. You can build things now. 🎉
Build your card
- The card's layout is already styled, so you can focus on filling it in.
- Each task adds one piece — content, a picture, then colour. Press ▶ often!
Start your card. Inside the .card, add an <h2> with a name and a <p> with one line about you.
Add a picture above the name. Add an <img src="/static/code/web-basics/cat.svg"> with alt text, just inside the card.
Finish it with a splash of colour. Give the h2 a colour you like, e.g. h2 { color: teal; }.
