Stellar work! However, consider updating the markup to remove the horizontal scrollbar.

For example

HTML

<header>
  <div class="max-width">
    <h1>…</h1>
  </div>
</header>

CSS

body {
  margin: 0;
}

.max-width {
  max-width: 60em:
  padding: 0 1em:
  margin: 0 auto:
}

header {
 background: #030;
}

Also, while you're in there, make your title font-size smaller to fit small width screen, then use a media query to bring it back to the larger, original, size for wider width screens. I'll hush for now.
