Web Design for Novices in XHTML 
Do you have little to no prior experience with web design? 
This article is for you if you've experimented with FrontPage or xported HTML from Microsoft 
Word and want to comprehend what you're doing. Today, we'll go over the specifics of XHTML 
and how you may start creating the newest type of web pages using it. This tutorial is divided 
into the following sections: 
Before writing our first HTML page in 
Part 1: we ask "Why use XHTML?". Then we go over the fundamental components of the 
technology, highlighting several XHTML advantages along the way. 
Part 2: expands on this information as we examine the sophisticated XHTML building 
components, such as comments, text, and more. 
The third section examines how XHTML Web Design and Development  handles lists, images, 
and linking between XHTML documents. 
In order to make the sample XHTML in this article easier for you to grasp, I have bolded certain 
sections. This is the only purpose for the bolding; it has no other function. 
Part 1 
XHTML: Why Write It Yourself? 
 
I won't be demonstrating any software that generates XHTML for you. I really believe that 
writing the code yourself is the most effective technique to construct Web pages. It hasn't 
failed me yet in the seven years I've been doing it! What makes hand coding crucial? for a 
variety of factors. Programs that generate HTML for you frequently perform so poorly, 
frequently producing Web pages that accomplish things slowly. Hand-coding your pages gives 
you a deep understanding of what you're doing and allows you to reduce the size of the Web 
page file as much as you can. This shortens download times, resulting in quicker page loads and 
happier users. Because a program creates the HTML for you, you are not given the opportunity 
to see how your page is constructed internally. As long as everything functions, this is not a 
problem. What if it doesn't, though? If you discover that Internet Explorer 4 and many other 
browsers don't display your website properly, 
 
 
Users use that browser, thus you'll need to fix it. This entails setting aside the software and 
manually reading the code. Will you recognize the issue? When issues arise, you most likely 
won't have the necessary knowledge to resolve them if you've been relying on the program to 
code the website for you. 
No longer are just those with computers and one or two Web browsers able to access the 
Internet. These days, everything has a web browser built in, including refrigerators, televisions, 
vehicles, and personal digital assistants! By employing speech synthesis or Braille devices, blind 
persons can "view" websites. It is impossible to test every page you create across all potential 
platforms on which it might be utilized. However, there is a way to guarantee that your website 
has the best possible chance of functioning in the majority of situations: create pages using the 
guidelines established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the team responsible for 
XHTML and other Internet standards. The W3C offers a validation service to make sure your 
page complies with the requirements; if it does, it has the best chance of working on any 
device. I am not aware of any HTML creation software that generates legitimate code. 
I hope this has convinced you that the XHTML learning curve is worthwhile. There will be a 
learning curve if you chose to utilize a software to do it, so you might as well take 
XHTML: Why? 
HTML (or Hyper Text Markup Language) has been the suggested language for building Web 
pages since 1990. And (you didn't need me to tell you that!) it has been incredibly successful. 
However, HTML has issues. Without delving into details because it is not the focus of this paper, 
HTML has degenerated into a muddle. In order to clean up this mess, the World Wide Web 
Consortium developed XHTML in 1999. The abbreviation XHTML refers to extended hypertext 
markup language, which is written in a language known as XML. 
 
 
XHTML can be expanded, as the name would suggest. Extra modules allow you to edit your 
pages in ways that HTML does not allow. The long-term objective is for computers and humans 
to both be able to understand your website's content. How does that function? So let me 
explain. 
 
Because you use a computer to access Web pages, you might assume that computers are 
already familiar with them. That's accurate. However, computers can simply show your pages; 
they have no understanding of their content. What if computers could interpret the meaning of 
Web pages? Your computer may be instructed to travel to each of your the websites of nearby 
supermarkets and let you know which one is the cheapest for your weekly shopping. Your 
computer could browse international news websites and return the most recent headlines that 
are relevant to your interests. There are countless options. 
Hopefully, you can now understand why XHTML is so crucial. I made the decision to create this 
lesson in order to introduce you to XHTML. The major reason for this is that I couldn't find a 
beginner's XHTML tutorial anywhere; there are many articles for HTML novices and many 
XHTML introductions for people who are already familiar with HTML, but it's hard to find a 
beginner's XHTML tutorial. 
 
 
It makes sense to me that you should start using XHTML right away if you're learning web 
design right now. So let's start if you're still with me. 
 
Dear World 
Without instructing you on how to create a "Hello World" page, no beginner's manual would be 
complete. With XHTML, this is fairly easy. If you don't grasp anything, don't worry; it will all 
make sense in due course. The code for your "Hello World" webpage appears as follows: 
Table 1 
View the browser display of this code. 
For the time being, we won't bother about the unbolded code; all you need to know is that it 
informs the computer that this page is in XHTML and that English is the language being used. 
Every page you create and publish on a live website must have this code, but we'll deal with it 
later. Not to worry. 
 
 
 
The reason XHTML is known as a "markup language" is because that's what you do with it: you 
highlight text to make it clear what it means so the browser knows what to do with it. Element 
usage is made for this. Two tags, an opening tag and a closing tag, make up an element. Each 
closing tag likewise contains a slash /, and tags are identified by the angle brackets: >. 
Let's revisit the document that we just saw. The title of a page is shown using the title> 
element. This title is visible in Internet Explorer in the window's top bar. This is how our title 
element appears:
