The Tale
Lab 1 marked the beginning of the journey into web development. The focus of this lab was to build the fundamental structure of a website using semantic HTML and a clear project organization.
The Quest Objectives
- Set up the complete structure of an HTML document using proper
<head>and<body>elements. - Apply semantic HTML elements to clearly define the structure and meaning of the page.
- Build a functional navigation system using consistent relative paths.
- Validate the website using the W3C Validator and aXe DevTools to ensure correctness and accessibility.
- Organize and publish the project using a clean folder structure and a working public URL.
Reflections from the Road
What went well
- I was able to use HTML correctly.
- Using semantic elements made the layout easier to understand and maintain.
- Once I knew how they worked, anchors were pretty easy to make.
What could be improved
- It's quite hard to learn so much in not that much time.
- How does all of this work?!
