HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It allows the user to create and structure sections, paragraphs, headings, links, and blockquotes for web pages and applications.
HTML uses “markup” to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. HTML markup includes special “elements” such as <head>, , <body>, <header>, <footer> .
HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript, which affects the behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content.
HTML documents are files that end with a .html extension. You can view then using any web browser . The browser reads the HTML file and renders its content so that internet users can view it.
Each HTML page consists of a set of tags (also called elements), which you can refer to as the building blocks of web pages. They create a hierarchy that structures the content into sections, paragraphs, headings, and other content blocks .
Before writing the code ….
It’s important to understand who your target audience is, why they would come to your site, what information they want to find and when they are likely to return, So you have to answer these questions before you start writing the code :
-
Why People Visit YOUR Website : Every website should be designed for the target audience—not just for yourself or the site owner. It is therefore very important to understand who your target audience is.
-
What Your Visitors are Trying to Achieve : Now that you know who your visitors are, you need to consider why they are coming. While some people will simply chance across your website, most will visit for a specific reason.
-
What Information Your Visitors Need You know who is coming to your site and why they are coming, so now you need to work out what information they need in order to achieve their goals quickly and effectively
-
How Often People Will Visit Your Site Some sites benefit from being updated more frequently than others. Some information (such as news) may be constantly changing, while other content remains relatively static.
