<h2 id="css-resets">CSS resets</h2>
<p>Before we start: this isn't a CSS reset. You may want to apply it in concert with one. While writing this, a friend recommended <a href="https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/custom-css-reset/" target="_blank" rel="external">Josh W. Comeau's CSS Reset</a>, which looks largely very solid to me. However, if using that particular reset, I would <em><strong>not</strong></em> reset default margins (rule 2). They are tremendously useful in this case, where we are unlikely to be setting margins on elements individually.</p>

<p>Let's talk the components that every page likely has - a header, a footer, and navs. I'm going to use a very simple design for our header - a <a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/skipnav/" target="_blank" rel="external">skip link</a>, an (optional) site title (the title could also be one of the nav links), and then an unordered list of links enclosed in a <code>nav</code> element.
