## Overview

### The challenge

Users should be able to:

- View the optimal layout for the site depending on their device's screen size
- See hover states for all interactive elements on the page

These are the design references

## My process

I built out the mobile version first, with the full intention of making it a responsive design that would scale the mobile version till it got to the desktop size and then flip to the desktop version. Unfortunately I couldn't get the placement and scaling to work as I wanted; particularly with regards to the desktop version.

In the end I sought out a someone else's solution to get an idea of how to do the desktop images. This was the first time I had worked with using 3 images layered on top of each other, and I found it difficult.

As I used a disclosure animation I made sure to use `@media (prefers-reduced-motion) {}` to disable the animation for those that need it.

### Built with

- Semantic HTML5 markup
- CSS custom properties
- Flexbox
- CSS Grid
- Mobile-first workflow

### What I learned

That I could use Detail / Summary to handle the questions in HTML & CSS rather than use JavaScript.

### Continued development

Need to spend some more time practicing placement of images when there are multiple images that are supposed to be layer.

### Useful resources

- [MDN Detail](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/details) - Provided how to do the summary and detail without having to use JavaScript.
