Create simple web page using HTML

  • by

To create a simple webpage you have to have knowledge of basic HTML. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.

Anatomy of an HTML document.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>My test page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="images/firefox-icon.png" alt="My test image" />
  </body>
</html>
  1. Document Type Declaration (<!DOCTYPE>): This tells the web browser which version of HTML the document is using.
  2. HTML element (<html>): This element defines the start and end of the HTML document.
  3. Head section (<head>): This section contains information about the document, such as the title of the page, metadata, and links to stylesheets and scripts.
  4. Title element (<title>): This element sets the title of the web page, which appears in the browser’s title bar and in search results.
  5. Body section (<body>): This section contains the main content of the web page, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and other elements.
  6. Heading elements (<h1> to <h6>): These elements are used to create headings of different levels of importance.
  7. Paragraph element (<p>): This element is used to create paragraphs of text.
  8. Anchor element (<a>): This element is used to create links to other web pages or resources.
  9. Image element (<img>): This element is used to display images on the web page.
  10. List elements (<ul>, <ol>, <li>): These elements are used to create unordered lists, ordered lists, and list items.
  11. Div element (<div>): This element is used to group related content together and apply styles to the group as a whole.
