So, you're thinking about building a website? Awesome! It's super rewarding. And HTML is where you start. This guide will walk you through it, from setting things up to launching your first site. We’ll keep it simple.
Before you code, you need a few things. The good news? You don't need fancy software! Just a text editor and a web browser.
That's it! You're ready to dive in.
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the foundation of every webpage. It uses tags to organize things. Tags look like this: <tag> and </tag>. See? Simple!
For example: <p>This is a paragraph.</p> creates a paragraph. Let's look at some key tags:
<html> ... </html>: This is the big container – everything else goes inside.<head> ... </head>: This holds info about your page, like the title.<body> ... </body>: This is where the actual content goes – what people see.<p> ... </p>: Creates a paragraph of text.<h1> ... </h1> to <h6> ... </h6>: These are headings; <h1> is the biggest, <h6> the smallest.<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description">: Adds an image. Remember to use the correct file name and add descriptive alt text!<a href="url">Link Text</a>: Creates a link. Replace "url" with the website address.<ul> ... </ul> and <li> ... </li>: Make bulleted lists.<ol> ... </ol> and <li> ... </li>: Make numbered lists.Let's make a simple webpage. Open your text editor and copy this:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My First Webpage</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello, World!</p> </body> </html>Save it as index.html. Open it in your browser. See? "Hello, World!" You did it!
HTML gives you the structure; CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) gives you style. It controls colors, fonts, and layout. You can add CSS directly to your HTML or link to a separate CSS file. Let's style our "Hello, World!" page.
Add this to your index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My First Webpage</title> <style> body { background-color: #f0f0f0; font-family: sans-serif; } p { color: #333; font-size: 16px; padding: 20px; text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Hello, World!</p> </body> </html>Refresh your browser. It should look a little nicer now!
This is just the beginning! Once you get the hang of HTML and CSS, you can explore:

Building websites with HTML and CSS is fun and creative! You've got the basics now – go forth and build something amazing!
