The Developer Tools can be used to look at the hard code of your website. What is the code that makes up your website and allows it to be formatted the way it is? You can see all of this through the Developer Tool. By using the Developer tool to find specific elements in your website, you can more easily change each element to make it more accessible to every user.
1. To Open the Developer tools:
- If you are on Mac in Safari:
- If you are on Windows:
