In a previous post I wrote about the CSS3 we used in the new Pure Adapt site and now I want to post about new HTML5 elements we used.
The HTML5 elements that we used are relatively easy to understand since they were in a way already being used. For example instead of naming to containing div id=”footer” HTML5 now has a dedicated tag for the footer. Simple as that. Here are the new elements we used in the redesign.
<header> – For an introduction of a document or section, could include navigation
<nav> – For a section of navigation
<section> – For a section in a document. Such as chapters, headers, footers, or any other sections of the document
<footer> – For a footer of a document or section, could include the name of the author, the date of the document, contact information, or copyright information
Definitions via w3schools.com
The elements we used are pretty straight forward, but HTML5 has much more exciting new elements to offer like the <video> tag where a link to the source can add a video to your webpage without embedding video code. Now for more information on HTML5 please visit one of my go-to sites for development, w3schools.com.
I’ve talked about the CSS3 and HTML5 that we used in the redesign, but there’s one more post about the design of Pure Adapt site featuring responsive design techniques coming. New Pure Adapt Site Design – Responsive Design post is coming soon.
