You have your closing Unordered List tag (</ul>) in the wrong location. You have it after your first list item (number-01.jpg)

The closing ul tag needs to go above the closing section tag.

Also,

In your code above you are missing the closing tags of:

footer div body html

works for me. make sure your css file is in the correct folder.

index.html should be on the root.

the main.css and normalize.css need to be in a folder named css
