Start with one real case for HTML semantics. Record the start and the goal.
Technology should stay stable and easy to check. Test each change again after release.

HTML semantics: Basics explained clearly
This guide covers HTML semantics. Use one real case and keep the next step clear.
What matters in practice
Key rule: Mark up landmarks, headings, links, lists and forms according to their actual meaning.
Set the goal first. Then use one real case.
A reliable way to work
Set one question before the test. Decide what result should count.
Name one owner. Record the current state.
Change one point only. Then check the result.
If money, customers or public claims are involved, add a human review.
Check the result again later. Keep only what helps the goal.
Set the goal
- Keep the first test small.
- Choose one result that should count.
- State the main question first.
- Keep the starting point visible.
Check the starting point
- Check one risk at a time.
- Record what already works.
- Keep the baseline simple.
- Ask when one fact is unclear.
Change one point
- Record the result right away.
- Keep the next action small.
- Check whether the change helped.
- Return to the start when the result is unclear.
Secure the result
- Use the result in the next decision.
- Keep the final note short and clear.
- Keep only what helps the goal.
- Record the final state.
Practical checklist
- Write the goal in one sentence.
- Record the start and one real case.
- Check the key rule.
- Name the owner and approval point.
- Set one measure and one date.
Common mistakes
- Starting without a clear goal.
- Changing several points at once.
- Using a result without a final check.
Concrete example
Example: An SME tests HTML semantics with one real case. The team records the start, changes one point and checks the result. Then it plans the next step.
