Semantic HTML - charlesprabhu - 09-23-2025
emantic HTML is the practice of using HTML tags to give web content meaning and structure, not just presentation. While non-semantic tags like <div> and <span> are used for styling and don't describe their content, semantic tags like <header>, <nav>, <article>, and <footer> clearly define their purpose. This approach is crucial for a few key reasons:
Accessibility: Screen readers rely on semantic tags to interpret a page's layout and hierarchy, allowing visually impaired users to navigate more effectively.
SEO: Search engines better understand and index content structured with semantic HTML, which can improve a site's ranking.
Maintainability: Semantic code is cleaner and more readable for developers, making it easier to maintain and collaborate on projects.
By choosing the right tag for the right content, you build a more robust, accessible, and meaningful web.
