You may ask yourself that question when you know there are many web development tools, such as Dreamweaver and FrontPage, that can create pretty interesting web pages without you knowing HTML. Keep in mind if you don’t know HTML and you use a web development tool, you are at the mercy of the tool. You may not have complete control over your web page development projects. If you learn HTML and also learn a web development software, you will have much more control over your web pages.
