4 Top Responsive Multipurpose HTML WordPress Themes For Your Next Project

HTML5 is one of the greatest things to have ever happened to the world of web design as a whole. Its advent made it easier for web designers to be able to scale up their websites and bring websites to production faster than they could have done it before. For the uninitiated, HTML5 is a markup language that is used in the structure and presentation of web content on the internet. The driving force behind the creation of HTML5 was to enable native support for the latest multimedia.

Additionally, it was designed to make it that much more easily readable by humans (coders) and to be consistently understood by all types of computing devices from mainframe computers to mobile phones. In technical terms, it was created to combine the functionality of HTML4, XHTML 1 and DOM Level 2 HTML. The net effect is that it improves, extends and makes the markup more rational for use in documents and Application Programing Interfaces (APIs) for complex cross-platform web and mobile applications.

Beautiful Functional Templates

A template is quite simply a pre-designed webpage or in this case, a set of HTML5 webpages that anyone with little technical knowhow can use to insert their own content, textual, audio or video in order to create a website within a short period of time.

Responsive Websites
