the opening and closing <table> tags. Table headers are added to the HTML table

The cells that divide the rows are added with the use of the <td> tag (table data). The
<td> tag contains the content of the table.

other tables, etc.
Constructed Response:
1. How can you ensure that your website links are functioning properly?
To ensure your website links are functioning properly, regularly check them through
manual testing by clicking each link to confirm they lead to the correct page. Use
automated tools or plugins designed for link checking to quickly identify broken or dead
links. Keep your URLs updated, especially when making changes to page structures or
moving content, to prevent broken links. Lastly, monitor user feedback and website
analytics to catch any potential issues with links that may not have been detected during
routine checks.
2. Why is linking web pages important in website design?
Linking web pages is important in website design because it helps users easily navigate
between related content, improving the overall user experience. It creates a connected
structure, allowing visitors to explore different parts of the site seamlessly. Internal links
help search engines understand the relationship between pages, enhancing SEO
(Search Engine Optimization). Linking also encourages users to stay on the site longer
by guiding them to additional relevant content. Lastly, it improves accessibility by
providing clear pathways for users to find the information they need.
3. Why is it important to use both ordered and unordered lists on a website?
Using both ordered and unordered lists improves the organization and readability of
content on a website. Ordered lists are ideal for steps or processes where sequence
matters, while unordered lists are great for grouping related items. They enhance user
experience by making information easier to scan and understand. Lists also aid
accessibility by helping screen readers interpret content more effectively. Additionally,
they improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by signaling clear and structured
content to search engines.
