HTML Code

If you are looking to learn how to code and create a websites you will eventually need to learn the HTML language. How well you learn this language will depend on whether you like to code or prefer the option to use a GUI (Graphical User Interface). There are many advantages to learning to code in html.

By learning to code in HTML you will be able to go beyond what a WYSIWYG or GUI program will be able to give you. If you are only using programs that assist you in creating your webpages you will be pinning down your expansion as a web designer or web developer. If you are unable to look at a piece of HTML code and tell whats wrong with it you will never be able to fully understand how to operate and run your own website much less for others. By learning to hand code HTML you will be able to control unneeded or extraneous code that may be applied by programs.

HTML gives you the freedom to create a single webpage or a complete website with a bit of coding. You will have the ability to understand and grasp the concept of what your doing when an idea pops into your head or if a client asks you to create a website for them. You will understand the functions and what it will take to complete the task at hand. Without having real knowledge of HTML you will be unable to fully design what may be needed and even if you are able to do so how will you fix something that is broken or needs the actual coding edited to repair an error?

Do you prefer to write code or do you prefer to use a graphical interface?
