Wix pages also don't support old browsers and aren't ‘handheld friendly’.
True, but is there any reason for them to? Nearly nobody uses these devices and browsers (which are probably 7+ years old at this point, but most likely even more) and they don't get updates at all. It's impossible to move forward and use modern frameworks and technologies while also supporting these devices, so all web developers don't support these at all.

Most browsers can read invalid HTML but this isn't an excuse.wix definitely creates valid HTML lol?? otherwise the websites wouldn't work?Wix, which I once used, does depending on what you count as invalid HTML. Wix pages also don't support old browsers and aren't ‘handheld friendly’.many of them create invalid HTML.no they don't?

Using a website maker is the worst thing you can do. You learn nothing and many of them create invalid HTML.yet your website uses the center, marquee and font tags…

None of which are invalid. They greatly increase backwards compatibility and are much easier than their CSS alternatives.Using a website maker is the worst thing you can do. You learn nothing and many of them create invalid HTML.yet your website uses the center, marquee and font tags…

Just because its valid doesn't mean it's good. Take using the center and marque elements for example.

<h1>Text<h1>all browsers will accept this, because html parsers have to accept mistakes like these. it'll just close both tags whenever it can, doesn't mean it works correctly
