HTML Card Generator FAQ
How is the whole card clickable but still accessible?
Only the title is a link. A ::after pseudo-element on the link covers the card, so a click anywhere opens it, while screen readers hear just the title instead of the whole card text as one long link.
Why is the image after the text in the HTML?
Screen reader users hear the heading first and can skip the card quickly. CSS order moves the image back to the top visually.
When should alt text be empty?
When the image is decorative or repeats what the text says, such as a generic cover photo. Describe it when it carries information, such as a product photo.
Why width and height on the image?
The browser reserves the right space before the image loads, so the page does not jump. The CSS aspect-ratio keeps that shape on any screen width.
How does the grid adapt?
grid-template-columns with auto-fill and minmax places as many 18 rem columns as fit, from one on phones to several on wide screens.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The code and preview are generated in your browser.
Card components done right
Cards group an image, a heading, a short text and a link into one unit, and they appear on almost every website. The common mistakes are invisible in a screenshot: the whole card wrapped in one giant link that screen readers read out from top to bottom, several links to the same page, headings replaced by bold paragraphs and images without dimensions that make the page jump while it loads.
The generated card is an <article> with a real heading, so it appears in the heading list that screen reader users browse. For a clickable card, the title link is stretched over the card with a pseudo-element; the focus ring is drawn around the whole card with :focus-within, so keyboard users see what they are about to open.
With the button style, the link sits at the bottom of the card and pushes itself down with margin-top: auto, so buttons line up across a row of cards with different text lengths. Vague button texts such as “Read more” get visually hidden context with the card title.
Images are lazy-loaded with explicit width and height and an aspect-ratio, and object-fit: cover crops them neatly to the chosen shape, including a round avatar for profile cards. Pricing cards turn list lines into a feature list with accent-coloured markers.
Several cards are wrapped in a list so assistive technology announces how many there are. The grid uses minmax(min(100%, 18rem), 1fr), which means no horizontal scrolling on small phones and no media queries to maintain. Hover lift effects are switched off for people who prefer reduced motion.
