Introduction

Goal:

To learn how to make a webpage/website that is:

Usable - works in the way people expect (e.g. navigation, easy to find, readable information, usable with different screen sizes).
Compliant - cross-browser, cross- platform compatible / viewable (can view it on a Mac with Firefox or on Windows with Internet Explorer).
Accessible - the site can be used by people with disabilities (a screen reader can make sense of it)
Serviceable - the site is maintainable. A website is ideally updated frequently. The code should be written in such a way that it can be maintained and edited.

Though it is difficult to measure - estimates say there are more than 30 - 60 billion web pages on the Web today.
All of these pages are written in HTML or Hypertext Markup Language.
HTML is a markup language that tells a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) how to display the page.
In its basic form it has a very simple structure.
