  • (X)HTML is used to describe the content in a web page and CSS describes how you want that content to look.
  • Working with code provides better results
  • Design softwares that don’t involve code such as Photoshop can be described as WYSIWIG (What you see is what you get) editing.
  • HTML 5 can use video and audio elements
  • To achieve stability in all browsers, careful consideration of code is needed
  • It is efficient to have clean, compact code with smaller files which download quicker
  • Web standards is the best way to make accessible web pages with clean semantic HTML and will also improve search results

Hi I'm Michael, I'm currently studying Media at Univeristy and this is my blog for one of my units. The unit is called Web design and production as its name suggests designing websites and customizing blogs.

I have done a bit of web design in the last two years but not very much and after doing this unit I have learnt a lot especially about css (cascading style sheets).I'm half way through my studies and I am looking forward to being able to put all my learnings to good use in a real job.
