HTML best practices

Use a simple, semantic structure that browsers and assistive technologies can read easily. Start with the <!doctype html> declaration, set the language with lang="en", and keep all tags properly closed.

Organize content with meaningful elements such as <main>, <section>, <header>, and <footer>. Keep heading levels in order, and use short paragraphs for readability.

For accessibility, add clear link text, descriptive image alt text, and labels for form fields. Use lowercase markup, double-quoted attributes, and consistent indentation to make the code easier to maintain.

For temporary mail handling, use Hold Mail service or rent a P.O. Box.
