Semantic HTML
Part of the Full Stack Developer Roadmap
In short
Using HTML elements that describe their meaning (`<header>`, `<nav>`, `<article>`) rather than generic `<div>`s everywhere — improves accessibility, SEO, and how maintainable your markup is.
How to learn this
- 1Rebuild a `<div>`-heavy page using proper semantic tags.
- 2Check how a screen reader interprets semantic vs non-semantic markup.
- 3Learn when to use `<section>` vs `<article>` vs a plain `<div>`.
