Start your website with easy HTML

When setting your website you have to get familiar with HTML. It's not at all difficult and it will set much of the tone for your website. So, without any further ado, here are some steps you can take to create your first Web page.

  • Discover the content of your site - The Web has various topics you can explain upon from tribal art and craft to Mutual Funds. Discovering what you are interested in, will create a page that is fascinating for others to go through.
  • Determine the type of tools you will use to create your pages - You will need a text editor or HTML editor to write your Web pages in. You will also need photos, graphics or clip-art and a graphics program. You may also need an FTP client to get your pages and images from your computer to your Web server.
  • Learn HTML or your editing software - Many people create great Web pages without ever knowing HTML. HTML is simple to learn and learning it will help you solve problems your editor might cause.

The following HTML codes will help you create interesting pages

  • <p> - The paragraph marker. This tag separates groups of text with an extra space. The

     

    closing tag is required for valid XHTML.
  • <h#> - The heading marker. This tag creates headings of various sizes. Replace the #-sign with a number, 1-6. The </h#> closing tag is always required.
  • <hr /> - The horizontal rule tag. This draws a line across the screen. You can change the length by adding the width attribute. e.g. <hr width="50%" /> There is no closing tag.
  • <br /> - The break tag. If you want a line to end and the text to start again on the next line, use this tag. There is no closing tag.
  • <strong> - The bold tag. Use this tag to make text bold. The </strong> closing tag is required.
  • <em> - The italics tag. Use this tag to italicize text. The </em> closing tag is required.
  • <html> - The HTML tag. This should be the first tag on your page. The closing </html> tag should be the last. These tell the browser they are working with an HTML document.
  • <head> - The head tag. The head tag goes right after the HTML tag. The only thing that you need in it is the title tag. After you've included your title, use the </head> closing tag.
  • <title> - The title tag. This tag gives your page a title. The </title> closing tag is required.
  • <body> - The body tag. This tag comes after the </head> tag. It defines the body of your page. The </body> closing tag is required and goes right before the </html> tag at the end of your document.
