2. Our 5-Step Content Creation Process
Research & Planning
We study official specifications (WHATWG HTML Living Standard, W3C), MDN documentation, and current browser implementations. We identify knowledge gaps and plan tutorials that truly help learners.
Writing & Examples
Expert authors write clear explanations and create working code examples. Every concept is broken down into digestible sections with practical, real-world examples you can use immediately.
Cross-Browser Testing
ALL code examples are tested in 5 major browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. We verify compatibility on both desktop and mobile devices before publishing.
Peer Review
At least 2 senior developers review every tutorial checking for: technical accuracy, code best practices, clarity of explanations, and completeness. No tutorial goes live without approval.
Monitor & Update
After publishing, we monitor user feedback and analytics. Error reports are addressed within 24 hours. Content is reviewed quarterly and updated to reflect latest HTML5 standards.
