How are <meta> tags used to promote accessibility and search engine optimization?

By using a <meta> tag all you have to do is search the name of the person you are looking for and their pictures will pop up. This tag helps search by not making everything in one location, instead if you know the <meta> tag all you have to do is type it in the search and all the information is there.

The designer needs to find out which browser is being used and put in fixes as fast as they can. With the professional standards this is now not the case. Professional standards have defined the way designers
