The Facts about HTML

  • HTML will continue to form the basis of virtually all websites
  • If you need to make a web page, then  HTML is the standard
  • You don't need to write HTML code, you just need to understand it.
  • It usually takes between 20 and 40 minutes to understand the basics.
  • Learn how to construct HTML manually, then use WYSIWYG tools to work faster.

An analogy: A nail gun will help you build a house much faster than a hammer, but if you don't know how to construct the framing and where to position the nails, your house is likely to fall down.
