Knowing About HTML

It is important for web designers to know the basics of HTML instead of relying on different programs such as Expression Web for many reasons. One obvious reason is because you cannot always rely on the use of newer technology to do work. At any point in time these programs could fail and if you do not know the basics, then, well...what are you going to do??

Knowing the basics gives you a great background on how HTML and the web was designed. There is bound to be something in those programs that is not offered, some kind of feature that you want to add to your web page that is not found in Expression Web or Dreamweaver. In this case you would just have to do it the old school way and use HTML coding. So if this happens, you better know how to use that!

Also, knowing the HTML coding is pretty cool. Yes, it is very time consuming typing in all the symbols but I find it really intriguing that when I type in those words and symbols then click save and refresh my web page that what I typed in shows up as text or a picture or table or a new font. Knowing the basic coding is fun...most of the time. You just have to commit to memory all the coding for certain features.
