10 minute lesson
~~~
You now have enough HTML to build a solid document without hiding behind a framework.
Before you finish a page, review it from the outside in.
Document
- start with
<!doctype html> - set the document language
- include UTF-8, viewport metadata, and a useful title
- keep visible content in
body
Content
- use one clear main heading and logical subheadings
- use paragraphs and lists for the content they represent
- write descriptive link text and check relative paths
- choose semantic containers before generic ones
Media and data
- write contextual alt text
- include image dimensions
- add captions and media controls where needed
- use tables only for tabular data, with headers and captions
Accessibility and debugging
- prefer native elements
- navigate the page with a keyboard
- validate the HTML
- inspect the browser’s DOM and failed requests
If a page looks wrong, resist the urge to add more markup immediately. Check the structure, nesting, and paths first. Simple HTML is easier to understand and repair.
Complete these four short checks to finish the course.
