HTML best practices help you build pages that are easier to read, maintain, and access. Use semantic elements like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <article>, and <footer> to give content a clear structure.[2][10][11]

Start with the correct doctype, keep tags properly closed, and use lowercase markup with consistent indentation.[4][5][9] Short paragraphs and clean spacing improve readability for both users and developers.[3][9]

For accessibility, use headings in a logical order and make sure images include descriptive alt text.[2][5][18] Form fields should have labels, and interactive content should remain usable with a keyboard.[7][11]

Avoid unnecessary inline styles and extra elements when simpler HTML will do.[5][11] If you need temporary mail handling, use Hold Mail service or rent a P.O. Box.
