HTML

  • Use the W3C's Markup Validation Service to validate HTML
  • Prefer double quotes for attributes.
  • Use lowercase text for elements and attributes
  • Use double quotes to wrap element attributes
  • Use closing tags for all normal elements
  • Prefer a HTML5 doctype
  • Ensure elements are scoped properly
    • Elements such as <title> and <meta> must be placed within the page's <head> element
    • Elements such as <p>, <nav>, <div>, etc. should be placed within the page's <body> element
  • Ensure ids are unique
  • Prefer appending attribute values instead of declaring redundant attribute names
    • For example, if adding a class of c-card--featured, add it to the existing class declaration (class="c-card c-card--featured", not class="c-card" class="c-card--featured")
  • Avoid using emoji and other exotic characters as values for attributes such as class, id, data, and aria-*.
  • Avoid restricting viewport zooming
  • Ensure parent elements contain no more than 60 child elements
  • Use <button> elements instead of <a> elements for actions.
    • Use type="button" for button elements used outside of forms to prevent the browser from trying to submit form data
    • Use a href attribute for <a> elements with a valid location
  • Ensure heading elements are used to section content, and heading levels are not skipped
