Debugging HTML/CSS • Spelling • Mismatch in spacing • Missing quotations • Mismatches in HTML and CSS • Tags not closed • Use the validator • Follow naming conventions • Other tips?
What you need to be doing • Create a website even if none of your pages are complete • Copy and paste EVERYTHING from your home page to other HTML pages. • Then delete only the content areas. • Keep all of the elements that remain on all pages (headings, tagline, nav, footer, etc.) • Build your pages and don’t get caught up on CSS details • Come see me if you’re falling behind
Other tips • Read aloud • Have others read your content and view your site • Elicit feedback • Be willing to make changes that will actually make your site better
Final Considerations you might not have considered • Test all your links on every page • There’s not always a spell check • HTML/CSS validation • Testing on a variety of browsers and devices • Review grading criteria to make sure you’ve fulfilled all of them
