Introduction
Web design is the practice of developing and organizing content on websites. This encompasses both aesthetic and technical considerations of website development; for example ensuring pages are accessible to people with disabilities. Web designers use various tools and techniques to craft visually appealing, functional websites with easy navigation that may also have an effect on search engines.
The Internet is an interconnected global network of computers that communicate, providing users with access to information, sharing files and participating in online discussions. It plays an integral role in businesses such as education, government healthcare and ecommerce.
HTML, the markup language that describes the structure of web pages, was first introduced in 1996 and later versions included audio> and video> tags to support multimedia features as well as frame> to simplify complex layout creation for web developers. Furthermore, its current fifth edition – known as HTML 5 – offers improved markup syntax along with API for Web Applications as well as standard document object models such as DOM for improved Web Applications development and standard document object models like DOM for document object modeling purposes.
The Fifth Edition of This Textbook was updated in 2019 to include additional hands-on practice exercises, the Pacific Trails Resort case study, expanded coverage of CSS Layout Systems such as Flexbox and Grid, revised responsive image techniques section, as well as various updates throughout.

HTML is a markup language that allows web developers to build webpages by identifying tags and assigning text attributes. HTML contains both structural content such as headings and paragraphs as well as formatting details; however, due to being not designed specifically to handle visual layout, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were developed in order to distinguish these two forms of information.
Web designers must possess knowledge of both HTML and a backend language such as PHP or JavaScript for database interaction. Furthermore, they should possess an in-depth knowledge of colors and fonts used in design as well as understand visual components of design such as colors and fonts to craft websites which meet both user-friendliness as well as search engine friendliness while satisfying client requirements.
The 6th edition of this textbook has been revised to cover the latest standards for both XHTML and HTML5. This allows the author to stay abreast of current specifications while also introducing HTML5 structural elements early (Chapter 2) as well as organizing layout and CSS styles into separate chapters.

The World Wide Web is a prime example of an open Internet, providing a platform for people to freely exchange, link to and generate new content, ideas and experiences. Built upon World Wide Web Consortium’s Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), users are able to identify web documents for viewing as well as interact with them directly. HTTP also contains standards for markup languages known as Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) used for structuring Web pages as well as other informational sites.
HTML provides the raw tools necessary for structuring content on a website, while CSS helps style that content so it is displayed as intended by its author. HTML serves as the drywall; CSS adds color.
