<p>Why HTML Matters
</p><p>Think of a house. HTML is like the walls, windows, and doors.
</p><p>It gives your website its basic structure. Without HTML, there’s nothing to see, no text, no images, no buttons. It's the skeleton that holds everything together.
</p><p>Why CSS Matters
</p><p>Okay, now imagine that house again. This time you paint the walls, add curtains, put furniture inside, and decorate it to look beautiful.
</p><p>That’s what CSS does. It takes the plain HTML and makes it look good with colors, fonts, spacing, and layout.
</p><p>Why Frameworks Come Later
</p><p>Frameworks are like buying pre-made furniture or hiring an interior designer. They help you work faster and make your house (or website) look professional with less effort.
</p><p>But you can’t skip straight to frameworks if you don’t know how walls and paint work. Otherwise, you won’t know how to fix things when something breaks.
</p><p>Start with the basics. Learn HTML first, then CSS, and only after that dive into frameworks.
</p><p>This way, you build strong foundations and become a developer who can create, fix, and customize anything, not just copy and past</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
