Have you ever wondered how websites are built and designed? Do you want to learn the art of web development but you’re not that tech savvy – yet?

Well, then this tutorial is for you. It’s an introduction to Web Development for beginners so you can learn the basics even if you’re totally new to the topic.

HTML Basics – the Structure of a Web Page

HTML stands for Hyper-Text Markup Language. Now, before we can get deep into how HTML works, let’s get a basic understanding of what Hyper-Text Markup Language actually means.

Hyper-Text refers to the hyperlinks you see on text, an image, or a bookmark that redirects to another page, file, document, or another part of a web page.

A markup language is simply a computer language that contains tags that define elements within a document. An example of a tag could be the headline of a blog, which is normally written as an h tag.

There are many more tags, some of which we will discover later on.

You can simply think of HTML as the structure of a webpage. Like, let’s suppose you have to build a house. The first step of building should be to construct its frame and overall structure, right?

You’ll layout the basement, the walls, the lawn, the garage, and so on. This is how you can imagine HTML – it’s the building blocks of a web page.

On a website, that might be the navbar, main-body/content, footer, sidebar, and all the structural divisions of the page. Those are all based on HTML.
