The lines in red, are HTML comment tags.
These allow you
to add labels or reminders in your web
page for easier
maintenance, without them being visible
through a browser.

Form------- -->
<!-- ---- Name, Email & WebSite ---- -->
These next few lines define the input
fields for the Name,
Email and Web Address of your visitor.
The Name=website field
also includes a predefine value of 'http://'.
This allows a
visitor to enter their web site url
without typing in this part
of the address. It's also a useful reminder
to the novice web
owner for what goes in this field.
