Key Principles
- Write semantic HTML to improve accessibility and SEO.
- Use CSS for styling, avoiding inline styles.
- Ensure responsive design using media queries and flexible layouts.
- Prioritize accessibility by using ARIA roles and attributes.
HTML
- Use semantic elements (e.g., <header>, <main>, <footer>, <article>, <section>).
- Use <button> for clickable elements, not <div> or <span>.
- Use <a> for links, ensuring href attribute is present.
- Use <img> with alt attribute for images.
- Use <form> for forms, with appropriate input types and labels.
- Avoid using deprecated elements (e.g., <font>, <center>).
CSS
- Use external stylesheets for CSS.
- Use class selectors over ID selectors for styling.
- Use Flexbox and Grid for layout.
- Use rem and em units for scalable and accessible typography.
- Use CSS variables for consistent theming.
- Use BEM (Block Element Modifier) methodology for naming classes.
- Avoid !important; use specificity to manage styles.
Responsive Design
- Use media queries to create responsive layouts.
- Use mobile-first approach for media queries.
- Ensure touch targets are large enough for touch devices.
- Use responsive images with srcset and sizes attributes.
- Use viewport meta tag for responsive scaling.
Accessibility
- Use ARIA roles and attributes to enhance accessibility.
- Ensure sufficient color contrast for text.
- Provide keyboard navigation for interactive elements.
- Use focus styles to indicate focus state.
- Use landmarks (e.g., <nav>, <main>, <aside>) for screen readers.
Performance
- Minimize CSS and HTML file sizes.
- Use CSS minification and compression.
- Avoid excessive use of animations and transitions.
- Use lazy loading for images and other media.
Testing
- Test HTML and CSS in multiple browsers and devices.
- Use tools like Lighthouse for performance and accessibility audits.
- Validate HTML and CSS using W3C validators.
Documentation
- Comment complex CSS rules and HTML structures.
- Use consistent naming conventions for classes and IDs.
- Document responsive breakpoints and design decisions.
Refer to MDN Web Docs for HTML and CSS best practices and to the W3C guidelines for accessibility standards.1
