Why Semantic HTML Still Matters
HTML isn’t just how we place elements on a page. It’s a language – with a vocabulary that expresses meaning
Tags like
<article>
,<nav>
and<section>
aren't decorative. They express intent. They signal hierarchy. They tell machines what your content is, and how it relates to everything else.
I know I could be better about this, and I try to use the right tags to help with accessibility.
If everything is a
<div>
or a<span>
, then nothing is meaningful.
This is why I'm not always a fan of frameworks.
