Kudos to CSS Tricks - they have put out a really cool image of what beautiful HTML looks like. Before you get worried, it isn't just the HTML - it's got annotations and clear explanations about what makes it beautiful. If you follow the techniques defined in this image, you'll have beautiful HTML as well. As well as HTML that is easy-to-read by search engines, easier to maintain, and up-to-date.
