There are three “languages” which are the backbone of a web design company in California, and they are the three biggest tools in a web designer’s toolbox. They are all technically “languages,” although HTML and CSS are not technically considered to be true programming languages.
HTML (Hyper Text markup Language) is a set of “markup” tags
that are responsible for structuring all the various elements of a webpage. It
designates headers, footers, paragraphs, links, images, and everything in
between. HTML is what search engine crawlers “read” when they index our
website.
Proper HTML is critical to a professional, functioning
website. HTML mistakes will almost universally result in visual anomalies on a
website, apparent even to users. At worst, improper HTML can essentially break
an entire website.
We can think of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) as supplements
to HTML. CSS is responsible for the styling of HTML elements – in other words,
CSS controls how website elements look to end users. For example, HTML uses the
< p > tag to designate paragraphs, or general body text. Using CSS, a
designer can make all text designated as a < p > element a certain color,
a certain font size, a certain font type, and so on.
