Payments are non-refundable. See our Terms of service.

Builds a grouped (paired) column chart comparing two series into your own project: six pairs of columns, one pair per park: last year in soft slate, this year in deep teal, the value printed above each teal column; a key above; hovering or arrowing to a park shows both values and the change. Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, or matched to React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro or Tailwind when the project uses them. Comes with a working reference and a check that screenshots it at phone, tablet and desktop widths and flags sideways overflow, text under 12px, missing alt text and names, low contrast, no focus styles, motion that ignores reduced motion, leftover sample words and emoji icons. Use when someone needs to compare two periods, plans or groups across a few categories (this year against last, target against actual), or asks for grouped bars, side-by-side columns or a comparison chart.

About this skill

Compare our target and actual sales for each store with paired bars. Numbers in brief.md.

It said back

I built the chart as a plain HTML page with a pair of columns for each of the five stores. The skill's check passes at 390, 768 and 1440 px. It covers overflow, small text, names, contrast, focus, motion and script errors. I looked at the 390 and 1440 screenshots and both read cleanly. I didn't open the 768 one.

  • Colours: target is warm grey (#8A8077) and actual is brick red (#A8372A). The actual value is printed above each red column.
  • Tooltip: hovering or arrowing to a store shows its actual and target figures and "£Nk over target" or "£Nk under target". Over is in green and under is in red.
  • Screen readers: a live region reads the same figures. A "Show the numbers as a table" toggle sits below the chart.
  • Phones: under 560px the chart switches to one row per store, with the target and actual bars and their values.
  • Wording I wrote: the heading "Sales against target, store by store" and the line "Four of five stores beat target; Bristol finished £14k short." Bristol was £14k short and the other four stores beat target. The summary under the chart says Oxford had the biggest surplus, £12k over. Change any of these if you'd prefer different wording.
