Why Code Counts

Code:
HTML and CSS are NOT programming. They identify and describe components of documents. (X)HTML is used to describe Content, and CSS how it looks.

Important skills for websites:
  • CSS
  • HTML
  • Layout
  • Typography
  • Flash
  • Colour
You must get your pages to display well in all browsers. Internet Explorer has bad CSS rendering. It is best to have small files for quicker downloads.

Semantic HTML= web standard- HTML tags.
e.g. for the most important heading, use a h1 tag.
improves search, adjustable for brail readers etc.

Code=
  • better results
  • flexibility
  • efficiency
  • availability
  • adaptability
  • longevity
  • better design
