For CAT (Computer Applications Technology) students, getting started with web design using HTML is exciting! Here are 5 quick HTML tips that can help you create better web pages in under 2 minutes:

1. Always Use <!DOCTYPE html>
Why: This super important line at the very top of your HTML file tells the browser that you're using HTML5, the latest version. It ensures your page renders correctly across different browsers.

Quick Tip: Just copy and paste it as the very first line of every HTML document you create. It's short, but mighty!

2. Structure with <head> and <body>
Why: Think of your HTML document like a human body. The <head> section is like the brain – it holds invisible information about the page (like the title, links to CSS, or character set). The <body> is where all the visible content goes – text, images, videos, everything users see.

Quick Tip: Remember: "Head for brains, body for content!" Only things inside <body> tags will show up on your webpage.

3. Use Headings (<h1> to <h6>) Correctly
Why: Headings aren't just for making text big! They give your page structure and tell search engines (and screen readers) what's important. <h1> is for the main title, <h2> for major sections, and so on.

Quick Tip: Think of it like a book outline. You only have one <h1> per page, but you can have multiple <h2>'s, <h3>'s, etc., to break down your content logically.

4. Add Images with <img> and alt
Why: Images make your website visually appealing! The <img> tag puts an image on your page. The src attribute tells it where to find the image file. But don't forget the alt attribute!

Quick Tip: Always include alt="description of image". This text appears if the image doesn't load, and it's vital for accessibility (screen readers for visually impaired users) and SEO. Example: <img src="cat.jpg" alt="A fluffy orange cat sleeping">

5. Create Links with <a> and href
Why: Links (hyperlinks) are what make the web, well, a "web"! The <a> (anchor) tag creates a link, and the href attribute tells the browser where to go when the link is clicked.

Quick Tip: Put the text you want to be clickable between the opening <a> and closing </a> tags. Example: <a href="https://www.google.com">Visit Google</a>. You can link to other pages on your own website or external sites!
