A Brief into Web Creation

The standard way of doing things
Because of its highly technical childhood, the World Wide Web has a lot of “hacker baggage.” When we say that, we don’t mean that it’s a dangerous place where people roam the wires 
trying to steal your credit card information (although there is some of that too). We’re using 
the term hacker in the classic sense of someone who likes technology and tries to find their 
own way of solving problems.
The Web started off very much from a position of trying to solve a problem, in this case, distributing information. It evolved and gained features out of necessity—people needed 
to be able to add images and tables to their documents. In the early days of mainstream 
adoption, when businesses started to move online, there wasn't always a perfect way of 
doing things, so people came up with their own
solutions.
A classic example of this is using a table on a web page to lay it out. At one point, we 
were guilty of this; but at that point we had no choice. Using a table was the only way 
you could get two columns of
text to display on a page. Today, there are far better options, and that’s what this article
 is about. Web standards have evolved; this isn't 1995 anymore.
