HTML
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is used to create electronic documents that are displayed on the Web. An HTML document is composed of three parts: a line containing HTML version information, a declarative header section, and a body, which contains the document's actual content. The head of an HTML document is the part that is not displayed in the web browser when the page is loaded. It contains information such as the page <title> , links to CSS (if you want to style your HTML content with CSS), links to custom favicon and other metadata (data about the HTML, such as who wrote it, and important keywords that describe the document.) In this article we'll cover all the above things and more, to give you a good basis for dealing with markup and other code that should live in your head.
Usability
Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. Learnability : How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? Efficiency : Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? Memorability : When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency? Errors : How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors? Satisfaction : How pleasant is it to use the design?
User-Centered Design
User-Centered Design (UCD) is the process of designing a tool, such as a website’s or application’s user interface, from the perspective of how it will be understood and used by a human user. U sability is important because it can make the difference between performing a task accurately and completely or not, and enjoying the process or being frustrated. I t can also mean the difference between the success or failure of a system. The Four User Interfaces are: Graphical, Touch, Voice, and Augmented Reality. Graphical User Interfaces relies on the sense of sight. These are things like buttons, icons, scrolling bars, desktops and menus. Touch User Interfaces is a comp uter-pointing technology based upon the sense of touch. A TUI enables not only the sense of touch to innervate and activate computer-based functions, it also allows the user, particularly those with visual impairments, an added level of interaction based upon tactile or Braille input.

Visual Hierarchy
Visual Hierarchy refers to a visual system of relative importance within a defined space of context. Visual Hierarchy is important because it more effectively communicates information. http://www.usatoday.com/
Rule of Thirds
Rule of Thirds- The rule of thirds is a powerful compositional technique for making photos more interesting and dynamic. The rule of thirds states than an image is most pleasing when its subjects or regions are composed along imaginary lines which divide the image into thirds, both vertically and horizontally. Golden Ratio- is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures. 'T is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. ( a/b = (a+b)/a = 1.6180339887498948420 …) The Rule of Thirds is a straight, vertical, and horizontal line graph. It is used for alignment. The Golden Ratio is used more often, the lines for Golden Ratio do not stay straight.
