Poor quality code!

[MasihTak]

I've found numerous bugs in your code that I'm going to address:

• Using a section tag as a container for all the parts of the site is not a good idea in terms of best practices for several reasons:
  • A section tag is meant to represent a generic standalone section of a document, which doesn’t have a more specific semantic element to represent it. It should always have a heading, with very few exceptions.
  • Using a section tag for the entire body of the document defeats the purpose of semantic markup, which is to provide meaningful structure and information to the content.
  • Using a section tag for the entire body of the document also creates a problem with the heading hierarchy, which is important for accessibility and SEO.  Using a section tag for the whole document implies that there is only one section, which is not the case.

Therefore, it is better to use semantic elements for the different parts of the site, and use section tags only when there is no more specific element to represent a section of the document. This will improve the readability, accessibility, and SEO of the code.

Navigation

• Using list items for navigation links helps to create a semantic and structured markup, which improves the accessibility and readability of the code. List items indicate that the navigation links are related and belong to the same group.

• Using list items for navigation links also allows for more flexibility and customization, such as creating submenus, dropdown menus, or responsive menus. List items can be nested inside other list items to create hierarchical menus, and can be hidden or shown depending on the screen size or user interaction.

• According to the HTML 5.2 specification, the <ul> element represents a list of items, where the order is not important. The links in a navigation menu are usually a list of similar items, such as pages or sections of a website. By using <li> elements, we can help screen readers to pause between each link and convey the structure of the menu .

Select

• The <select> tag should have a name attribute, which is used to reference the form data after the form is submitted. If you omit the name attribute, no data from the drop-down list will be submitted.

• The <select> tag should also have an id attribute, which is used to associate the drop-down list with a element. The element is important for accessibility and usability, as it provides a text description for the drop-down list and allows users to click on the label to focus on the list

Search bar

• You should use the type="search" attribute for the input element, instead of type="text". This will indicate that the input is intended for search terms, and allow the browser to apply different styling or functionality to it.
• You should also add a label element for the input element, and associate it with the id attribute of the input. This will provide a text description for the input, and improve the accessibility and usability of the form
• You should also add a value attribute for the input element, which will contain the default text that is displayed in the input.
• You should also add a required attribute for the input element, which will indicate that the user must enter a valid email address before submitting the form.

Email Input

• You should use the type="email" attribute for the input element, instead of type="text". This will indicate that the input is intended for an email address, and allow the browser to validate the input and apply different styling or functionality to it.
• You should also add an aria-label attribute for the input element, which will provide a text description for the input for screen readers and other assistive technologies. This will improve the accessibility and usability of the form.

Inline CSS

• Increase the size and complexity of the HTML document, making it harder to read and maintain.
• Create redundancy and inconsistency, as the same styles have to be repeated for multiple elements or pages.
• Reduce the separation of concerns, as the presentation layer is mixed with the content layer.
• Reduce the reusability and modularity of the code, as the styles are not easily shared or reused across different elements or pages.
• Reduce the performance and accessibility of the web page, as the browser has to parse more code and apply more styles.

Another thing to avoid is utilizing anti-pattern libraries such as Tailwindcss, which has some downsides that make it a bad web development strategy. Here are a few examples:

• It violates the principle of separation of concerns, which is the main goal of CSS. Tailwindcss embeds style rules into HTML class names, which reduces the readability and maintainability of the code.
• It adds unnecessary bloat to the HTML file, which can affect the website's speed and performance.
• It generates a large amount of CSS code that may not be needed or used by the web page, increasing the loading time and bandwidth usage.
• It limits your creativity, which means it constrains your ability to design unique and custom websites.

Last but not least, the form elements raise a number of accessibility concerns, which I have already covered here!
