I have been contemplating how is it that website design and HTML are related? I have been looking to build several sites, but I want to know how is it that these two play a part with each other. Help please.
yes, Both have interaction with each others. Professionally we create a layout in Adobe Photoshop or Fireworks after that when the layout is ready we have to publish it into the html/css that's necessary for the search engine to read the content of the site. if you have any question further more feel free to let me know via pm.
Without HTML you can't display CSS. Simple as that. HTML is used to create elements and display them while CSS styles those elements for the user to see. And so they both are related - CSS is unable to function without HTML while HTML can function without CSS.
