i learned this the hard way on a client project last month. i had set a fixed height for a product grid and forgot to account for long titles in certain languages. when we ran it through an accessibility audit, the text was completely
unreadable because it was overlapping the price tag below it.
i ended up having to rewrite half the css file on a friday afternoon . now i always default to
padding
and
min-height
for everything in the card container. if you arent using
flexbox
or
grid
alongside this, youre still going to run into alignment issues once that content expands.
pro tipalways test your layouts with
font-size: 200%;
enabled in the browser devtools to see where the breakage actually starts.
