The HTML element (or HTML Document Division Element) is the generic container for flow content, which does not inherently represent anything. It can be used to group elements for styling purposes (using the class or id attributes), or because they share attribute values, such as lang.

3 DIFFERENT METHODS FOR CREATING WEBSITES 1.Text Based 2.WYSIWYG 3.Content Management System (CMS)

1. Text Based Systems.

A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files. Text editors are provided with operating systems and software development packages, and can be used to change configuration files, documentation files and programming language source code.

2. WYSIWYG.

HTML editors that support What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) paradigm provide a user interface similar to a word processor for creating HTML documents, as an alternative to manual coding. Achieving true WYSIWYG however is not always possible.

3. Content Management System (CMS.)

A CMS or a 'Content Management System' quite literally allows you to control and manage the content within your web site - without technical training. Using this uncomplicated system you can very easily add, delete images and edit text in your web site on the fly.

Task 5 In pairs collect information that compares the pros and cons of each of the three methods of website creation. The contents of the web page will characterize and compare various editors for creating web pages according to the quality of the interface, capabilities, semantics and syntax. Collect pictures as well as text. You will use this information to create a webpage.

Task 6 Start to create a webpage using the information gathered in Task 5. You will need to make use of & tags so that your page scales on different devices. You must create a css file that makes your webpage aesthetically pleasing by using the rule of thirds and a recognized colour scheme.
