HTML FOUNDATIONS

THE SKELETON OF THE WEB

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the core building block of the entire internet. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Before you can make a website look good or add interactivity, you must build a solid, logical, and accessible foundation.

In our modular learning approach, you will explore how to write clean, semantic HTML5. This means using the right tags for the right job—not just using generic blocks for everything. Proper semantic structure improves search engine optimization (SEO) and is absolutely critical for users who rely on screen readers.
