10 Points to Remember When Building a Website

1. Creating an organized directory and standardizing your markup will help you troubleshoot any problems more efficiently. This will also help others understand the nature of your coding process.
2. Make sure you title your page. It is important so browsers can track and categorize your side for a more effective search.
3. Use special characters’ attributes when marking up a page. Some characters or symbols will not be rendered in certain browsers otherwise.
4. Default margins. All elements include default margins; for instance it is critical to define those measurements on each declaration, even cero needs be specified.
5. Make sure you establish the width on every floated elements.
6. Make sure embedded styles sheets are under the head space on your HTML file.
7. Text elements are inherited. Once you established a font size just like any other text element you have to use that number as your reference for all others in your document.
8. Image replacement technique is your best choice when using obscure typefaces or branding for display purposes.
9. To add background color running to the screen bottom of your page you need to add some padding-bottom at the end of your document usually in px. tocreate a distance from your last text line.
10. Validate HTML and CSS separately. You can validate your HTML and CSS together when checking your HTML markup; however, that doesn’t mean that your CSS is correct you need to do it separately for an accurate validation.
