Viewport
A Viewport is the visible area of a webpage. The viewport for a mobile device will be smaller than a desktop screen, and there is considerable variance within device types as well.
Websites need to be responsive to account for differing viewport sizes to avoid massive visual errors and user frustration, which is why responsive web design is so important.

HTML
Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, is a coding language for items displayed in a web browser. HTML is the underlying coding language behind a lot of what you see on the internet.
Importantly, HTML often doesn’t operate alone to describe web elements. Complimentary languages such as CSS are often used to define the visual attributes, while HTML defines overarching site structure and metadata.
