Frontend Mentor - Ping coming soon page solution

This is a solution to the Ping coming soon page challenge on Frontend Mentor. Frontend Mentor challenges help you improve your coding skills by building realistic projects.

Table of contents

Note: Delete this note and update the table of contents based on what sections you keep.

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
  • Submit their email address using an input field
  • Receive an error message when the form is submitted if:
    • The input field is empty. The message for this error should say "Whoops! It looks like you forgot to add your email"
    • The email address is not formatted correctly (i.e. a correct email address should have this structure: name@host.tld). The message for this error should say "Please provide a valid email address"

Screenshot

Add a screenshot of your solution. The easiest way to do this is to use Firefox to view your project, right-click the page and select "Take a Screenshot". You can choose either a full-height screenshot or a cropped one based on how long the page is. If it's very long, it might be best to crop it.

Alternatively, you can use a tool like FireShot to take the screenshot. FireShot has a free option, so you don't need to purchase it.

Then crop/optimize/edit your image however you like, add it to your project, and update the file path in the image above.

Note: Delete this note and the paragraphs above when you add your screenshot. If you prefer not to add a screenshot, feel free to remove this entire section.

My process

Built with

  • Mobile-first workflow

What I learned

I learned more about making semantic html markup

Useful resources

  • Making the social icons - This helped me create the round border around the social icons. I really liked this pattern and will use it going forward.
