Like a table of contents in a book. 3. **Semantic tags (**`<main>`**,** `<nav>`**,** `<article>`**,** `<section>`**,** `<aside>`**)** Denote meaning, not just a "visual container." 4. **Clear order: header -> menu -> main content -> footer** No overlaps, no mess. It reads top to bottom like a story, not a puzzle. 5. **Expected element behavior** A button is a `<button>`, a link is `<a>`, a form is `<form>`. Not `<div class="fake-button">`. --- ### What this provides: - Users - clear and predictable navigation - Screen readers - correct narration and movement - Search engines - a clear picture of content and importance - Developers - readable and maintainable code --- **Conclusion:** A meaningful structure is when a document can be **read, parsed, and understood** even without visual styling. It tells not just *what* is on the page, but also *why it matters* and *how everything relates to each other*.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
