If you are thinking about pursuing web design
as either a career or a hobby, you must be able to do more than simply design a
pretty page. There are plenty of different web design standards one must
master, the two most important in the industry today are HTML and CSS.
Since the early days of web design, HTML has
been the standard for professional websites. The latest 2.0 technology the old-table
design has been replaced by layer based table-less XHTML and CSS templates
which offers more flexibility in Website
Designing together with slim and clear source code.
How does
HTML work?
HTML consists of series of short codes typed
into a text file, using notepad and these are called tags. The text is then saved as a HTML file and viewed
through an internet browser. Internet Explorer or Netscape navigator works best
for initial viewing. The browser reads the tags and translates the file into
visible form. Writing in
HTML code enables you to create exactly what you want, and has every little
piece of information outlined just the way you want to see it. It all depends
how much you want out of HTML. There are a tremendous amount of HTML codes you
can use to make your own website.
Using CSS for styling is a solid performing web design method used to achieve content accessibility, style flexibility, and a useful tool to reduce the complexity of the design structure.

When
images and other graphics are used in a site, the loading speed of the site
decreases significantly and may frustrate your users. To avoid this, webmasters
use CSS which allows the use of smaller files thereby decreasing the bandwidth
of the site.

techniques, partnered with JavaScript, and think these new technologies have
the potential to make the web experience truly innovative and exciting.
·
When you open a HTML tag (e.g. <a>, <b>) always place
the corresponding closing tag at the end, which helps to prevent any strange
problems occurring in your page.
·
Style sheets will make your HTML coding file so much easier, which
helps you to get fine control over the way your page look and can change their
appearance just by editing one style sheet file.
·
There are number of CSS frameworks available on the internet that
can help you make a stable, cross-browser, easy to test design.
·
HTML affects CSS. You cannot check CSS code through validator unless
you check HTML. It often happens that HTML changes the site structure and
validation is required for proper display.
·
To make your HTML code clearer for you and others, add comments.
·
Instead of creating multiple CSS classes for
each page of your website, try to make same CSS classes that can be used
repeatedly. This will help you to make sure that the design remains the same on
all web pages.
·
Do not place CSS directly into HTML code, it
does not work well in production code. Always keep HTML and CSS separate.
·
It’s a good idea to specify the width and height of an image when
using an <img> tag. The advantage of doing this is that the Web browser can
format the page more quickly as it is loaded, as it knows how to lay out the
images before they've been downloaded.
·
Tables have traditionally been used to lay out content on
the page, however this was never their intended use. With the positioning
capabilities of CSS, you can build HTML pages that just contain the page
content, and use a separate style sheet to lay the content out.
·
For really precise control over page layout, and if you
haven't yet got the hang of CSS positioning, you can't beat the old spacer GIF
trick. This involves using a 1
pixel x 1 pixel transparent GIF, which will be invisible in your Web pages, and
using the width
and height attributes to control the
precise padding between page elements such as images, text and table cells.
Although HTML, the code for making webpages, may look
complicated, it's quite easy to learn, In fact it's easier than learning how to
use web design software. The only
thing needed to make a website is a browser and a simple word processor such as
Notepad.
