HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is used for annotating the web pages. HTML uses HTML Tags and HTML Documents to create and describe the pages. Websites created with HTML are static that means you will have to access the annotation to make any changes in the page. This becomes a hindrance for those, who need to change the content of their website very frequently. If you need to add, delete of change the content, you have no options but to have sound understanding of the language. If you don’t, you will have to hire professionals, who may charge you lot of money. Working on a static site is time consuming process, which does not simply allow us to keep our website live and energetic. Besides, various features such as forms, newsletters, user log in, social networking, etc. are not available with the language.
