Introduction

About HTML

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the backbone of the internet. It provides the structure and content of web pages, allowing browsers to interpret and display them. While HTML has been the go-to language for website development for decades, it has its limitations and challenges, especially for non-technical users.

As HTML websites grow and add features, maintenance becomes more challenging. Manually managing and updating HTML code can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
HTML websites primarily focus on content structure and styling, leaving dynamic interactions to CSS and JavaScript. This can restrict highly interactive and personalized experiences.
Browsers may interpret HTML code differently, affecting website appearance and behavior. Additionally, ensuring accessibility for users with disabilities can be complex.
