HTML
HyperText Markup Language
Definition
The standard language for structuring web pages. HTML defines what content appears on a page, headings, paragraphs, buttons, images, links, but not how it looks (that's CSS).
Why it matters
HTML is the foundation of every web page. A basic understanding helps you edit website templates, troubleshoot display issues, and understand what developers are building.
Example
A founder edits her landing page's HTML to change a headline from "Join the waitlist" to "Start your free trial", a 30-second change that improves conversion.
