How To Code A Website In Html

by

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the foundation of any website. It’s the language web browsers use to interpret and display content on the internet. In this blog post, we’ll learn how to code a basic website in HTML.

Step 1: Setting up the Document

First, we’ll start by setting up the basic structure of an HTML document. Every HTML document should begin with a DOCTYPE declaration. This informs the browser that the document is an HTML file. The declaration should be the first thing in your HTML file.




    <title>Your Website Title</title>








This is the basic structure of an HTML file. The <head> section contains information about the document, such as the title, which appears in the browser’s title bar or tab. The <body> section contains the content that will be displayed on the page.


Step 2: Adding Headings and Paragraphs


Now that we’ve set up the basic structure, let’s add some content to our website. We’ll start by adding headings and paragraphs using the <h1> to <h6> and <p> tags.





    <title>Your Website Title</title>


    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my website.</p>





You can use different levels of headings to create a hierarchy of information. The <h1> tag is used for the main heading, while <h2> to <h6> tags are used for subheadings.


Step 3: Creating Lists


Lists are a common way to organize information on a webpage. There are two main types of lists in HTML: ordered lists and unordered lists. Ordered lists use the <ol> tag, while unordered lists use the <ul> tag.





    <title>Your Website Title</title>


    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my website.</p>

    <h2>Unordered List</h2>
    </pre><ul>
        <li>Item 1</li>
        <li>Item 2</li>
        <li>Item 3</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Ordered List</h2>
    <ol>
        <li>Step 1</li>
        <li>Step 2</li>
        <li>Step 3</li>
    </ol>





Step 4: Adding Links and Images


Links and images are essential elements of any website. To create a link, use the <a> tag, and for images, use the <img> tag.





    <title>Your Website Title</title>


    <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text on my website.</p>

    <h2>Unordered List</h2>
    </pre><ul>
        <li>Item 1</li>
        <li>Item 2</li>
        <li>Item 3</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Ordered List</h2>
    <ol>
        <li>Step 1</li>
        <li>Step 2</li>
        <li>Step 3</li>
    </ol>

    <h2>Links</h2>
    <p>Visit <a href="https://www.example.com">Example Website</a> for more information.</p>

    <h2>Images</h2>
    <img src="path/to/your/image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">





For the image tag, make sure to include the "src" attribute, which points to the location of the image file, and the "alt" attribute, which provides a description of the image for accessibility purposes.


Conclusion


These are just the basics of creating a website using HTML. There are many more tags and attributes available to create more complex and interactive websites. However, this simple guide should give you a basic understanding of how to create a basic HTML website from scratch. Happy coding!
