Description of Tools

HTML is short for HyperText Markup Language. It is a type of computer language that creates pages which can be posted on the internet. HTML consists of text, graphics and design elements. What makes this relatively simple is that, these elements are already tagged with codes that has instructions on how to display them on to the web browser or email program. The tags will provide the layout and formatting information so that it meets the designer's needs. Also, it is used to specify hypertext links. These allow Web developers to direct users to other webpages with only a click of the mouse on either an image or a word.

CSS is short for Cascading Style Sheets. This a feature that has been added to HTML that will give the web developer and the user more control over how the webpages are being displayed. With the use of CSS, the designers and users can create style sheets with the use of different elements (such as links), to appear how they like in their webpage.
