Web Foundations

This section covers the real foundations of building websites - structure, responsibility, and long-term thinking.

Core principles

• Structure before styling
• Clarity over cleverness
• Systems scale, hacks don't

Semantic Structure

HTML is not about visuals. It defines meaning, hierarchy, and responsibility inside a system.

Separation of Concerns

HTML handles structure, CSS handles presentation, JavaScript handles behavior. Mixing these creates fragile systems.

Thinking Long-term

Real website evolve. A strong foundation allows change without collapse.
