Hey there,

It doesn’t look good on mobile or small screens.

A big hint as to why it doesn’t look good on narrower view ports is because you are setting a width in `px` on the quote-box. So you will always get a horizontal scroll bar anytime the view port width is below 550px.

To fix this, don’t set a width on quote-box at all. Allow it to narrow as much as needed. Your job as the developer is to use CSS break points to rearrange the elements in the quote-box to handle very narrow widths (i.e. build your app responsively).

You can set a max-width on quote-box though to keep it from getting out of hand. But I would suggest you use `em` units for it.

Hey there,

great job!

My ideas:

- I think that a constant height would be better for the quote box, because the size of it “jumps” depending on the length of the quote
