A Beginner's Guide to Building Your First Webpage Using HTML FOR BEGINNERS
HTML provides the basic structure of websites, which is enhanced and modified by other technologies like CSS and JavaScript. It's the foundation.
Understanding HTML empowers you to create websites, customize online content, and gain a fundamental skill for web development.
This presentation guides you through HTML basics, helping you build a simple webpage from scratch using provided content.
HTML is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content. For example, content could be structured within a set of paragraphs.
From headings to paragraphs, lists to links, we'll explore the elements that form the core of every webpage using this HTML FOR BEGINNERS guide.
A simple text editor (like VS Code, Notepad++, or Sublime Text) is all you need to write and edit your HTML code.
Use a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) to view and test your HTML code, seeing your webpage come to life.
Create a new folder for the project and create 1 file called “index.html.” This is where your HTML code is stored and the project will live.
Start with the basics. As you become more familiar with the structure, you can start to add the bells and whistles.
The more you practice coding, the more you will learn. Try writing out different code on your own to improve.
Declares the document as HTML5, ensuring browsers render it correctly. Always include this at the top of your HTML file.
The root element that wraps all other HTML elements, defining the beginning and end of your HTML document.
Contains metadata like title, character set, and links to CSS stylesheets, not displayed on the page itself.
Sets the title displayed in the browser tab or window title bar, important for SEO and user experience.
Contains the visible content of your webpage: text, images, links, and all other elements users will see.
Define headings of different levels, with <h1> being the most important and <h6> the least. Use them to structure your content logically.
Represents a paragraph of text, the standard way to display blocks of text content on your webpage.
Write out a rough outline of what your website should say and then use the correct tags to bring it all together.
When structuring your document, make sure it follows a clear flow, going from h1 at the top of the doc to h6.
Coding a few times will help you understand more and make you more of an expert than before. It only takes a few minutes to start.
Creates hyperlinks to other webpages, files, locations within the same page, or email addresses.
Specifies the URL or destination of the link. Add an “href” attribute and then copy and paste the URL of the page you want to link.
Embeds images into your webpage. Use the src attribute to specify the image URL and alt for alternative text.
Specifies the URL of the image. The image must be hosted somewhere. An example of this is your computer.
Alternative text for images in case they can't be displayed or for accessibility purposes. It's important.
Creates an ordered list (numbered). Use <li> tags within <ol> to define individual list items.
Creates an unordered list (bulleted). Use <li> tags within <ul> to define individual list items.
Defines each list item within ordered (<ol>) or unordered (<ul>) lists. Make sure it is in the correct place.
Lists are easy to understand. It allows people to know how many items are on the list for the user, which is important.
When organizing your document, consider if a list is the right move. It may or may not be but consider what would work best.
Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements. They are specified within the opening tag.
Examples include 'src' for images, 'href' for links, 'class' for styling, and 'id' for unique element identification.
Try adding the attributes to an already coded document to get a better understanding of how it will look.
There are many online tutorials of all the different types of attributes. Read through them to expand your knowledge.
One use case can be to alter the shape of the text or the color. There are many different things to change to make it unique.
Use HTML elements that accurately describe the content's meaning (e.g., <article>, <nav>, <aside>).
Ensure your HTML code validates to avoid rendering issues across different browsers. Use online validators.
Include comments in your code to explain sections and improve readability for yourself and others.
Make sure the indentation is perfect. This can greatly improve readability and understanding for the user.
Reviewing your code often and re-coding, you will quickly learn how to code and fix common bugs.
Learn CSS to style your HTML elements and create visually appealing webpages. It's the next logical step.
Explore JavaScript to add interactivity and dynamic behavior to your websites. Coding is a great next step.
Investigate frameworks like React or Angular to build complex web applications efficiently.
Keep learning new things every day. This is important to get the basics to grow and become better than before.
Watching tutorials will help you improve and provide simple examples that you can repeat to get better.
You've completed your introduction to HTML. You have the tools and knowledge to start coding.
HTML is not too difficult to learn but requires dedication and constant learning, but it is easier than most languages.
Thank you for embarking on this HTML journey. Start coding. It's not as difficult as some think and can be done. Good luck.
We hope you learned a lot of information through this. Keep practicing your skills to get better overtime.
I hope that you now know enough knowledge to start coding and building your skills as an HTML programmer. Thanks.
