It is one of the fundamental pillars of web development and an essential skill for any web developer. At Bacan, we provide the tools and support needed to use HTML effectively in your web projects.

What is HTML?

HTML is the language used to describe and define the content of a web page. It uses "tags" or "elements" to mark different parts of the content, so that web browsers know how to display that information to users. From text and links to images and videos, everything is structured and organized using HTML on the web.

Key features of HTML

Page structure

HTML allows developers to systematically structure content with tags such as

Links and navigation

The "hypertext" aspect of HTML refers to the ability to create links that connect one page to another, not only within the website itself but also to other sites, using the tag. This is fundamental for navigation on the web.

Integration with CSS and JavaScript

HTML is the foundation on which CSS for styling and JavaScript for functionality are layered. While HTML structures the content, CSS is used to control the presentation and JavaScript to add interactivity.
