HTML Best Practices

Use semantic HTML to keep pages clear, accessible, and easy to maintain. Start with a simple document structure, then add content in a logical order.

Keep paragraphs short. Use headings to divide sections, and use only one main heading for the page topic. This helps readers scan the page quickly.

Use links that describe their destination clearly. Avoid vague phrases like “click here” or “read more.” Put related links into the natural flow of the sentence.

Use lowercase element names and quote attribute values consistently. Keep formatting minimal, and let HTML structure do most of the work.

For emphasis, use standard elements such as <strong> and <em> only when needed. Good markup should support both readability and accessibility.
