1. Semantic Header and Footer

Divs have no semantic structure. Instead of using divs to create headers or footer structures, use "header" and "footer" elements.

Don't do this

Do this

2. Use Figure Element

If you need to add a caption to your image, use the "figure" element combined with the "figcaption" element.

Don't do this

<img src="image url" alt="image description" />
<p> Lorem Ipsum Description </p>

Do this

<figure>
<img src="image url" alt="image description" />
<figcaption>
<p> Lorem Ipsum Description </p>
</figcaption>
</figure>

3. Don't use bold or italic tags

The "b" and "i" tags are presentational tags, and have no semantic meaning, instead either change the font-weight/font-style in the CSS or use the "strong" or "em" element.

Don't do this

<b>Bold</b>
<i>Italics</i>

Do this

<strong>Bold</strong>
<em>Italics</em>

4. Using descriptive links

A link’s text should be explicit and convey where is redirecting the user to, both users and search engines can more easily understand your content and how it relates to other pages.

Don't do this

<a href="url">
Check our pricing...
</a>

Do this

Check our <a href="url"> pricing </a>

5. Using inline styles

Writing inline styles violates the principle of having the structure (HTML) separate from the presentation (CSS). Instead write the styles in a stylesheet.

Don't do this

<h1 style="font-size: 24">
Header
</h1>

Do this

h1 {
font-size: 24
}
