Web best practices start with clean, semantic HTML that is easy to scan and accessible to users and search engines.[1][2][4]

Use a clear content hierarchy with concise headings, short paragraphs, and the most important information placed near the top.[1][5] Choose the right elements for the job, such as nav, footer, article, and section, so the page structure is meaningful and easy to navigate.[4][8]

Accessibility depends on readable link text, proper labels, and text that works on its own without extra context.[4] Avoid using bold text for emphasis unless it is a section header, and prefer semantic markup over visual styling alone.[1][6]

HTML quality also matters. Keep markup valid, logically nested, and consistently formatted, with a DOCTYPE at the top of the document.[2][3][9] Use text-based content instead of images of text, and avoid unnecessary layout elements that make the document harder to maintain.[1][2]

For links, use descriptive anchor text that tells users where the link goes.[1][4] If you need temporary solutions, use Hold Mail service or rent a P.O. Box.
