A
Website is the collection of web pages all connected with a common domain and is publish on Web Server(s). Websites can be used for various functions - a website can be personal or commercial for a company or firm, or a government organization or non-profitable organisation. Website can be used for various purposes like education, advertisement, research, entertainment, social media etc.
Just the same way a book is made up of various pages, so is a website.
When designing a website, each page are designed independently and linked together by codes to form a website. Websites are written codes that can only be interpreted by a browser e.g Firefox, Explorer, Chrome etc. These codes are known/called Scripting/programming languages, examples include, HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, JAVA, PHP, MySQL etc. But for beginners I'll be Starting with HyperText Markup Language (HTML) which is an object base scripting language.
Simple Way to Learn HTML
As i said earlier, HTML is a programming
"LANGUAGE". You might be wondering why more emphasis is on the word "Language", well, just as you speak your language - Igbo, English, Hausa, Efik, Urhobo, Yoruba etc, you should be able to "Speak" HTML. HOW? Just the same way you learn your language - by constantly practicing.
To start a HTML web page, you need a word editor like Notepad, Notepad++, Sublime etc. Type something like this in any of the word editor you have.
This is an example of how a HTML code looks like;
<!DOCTYPE html>
<Head>
<Title> My first Web page</title> </head>
<boDy>
<Font size="4" face="courier" color="green">Hello World! </font>
Save it in a folder that will contain all you website contents like images, logos, videos, etc. save as "index.html" or "home.htm". Open it with any web browser of your choice and you'll get a result like something below;
Hello World!
Holla! you have successfully started creating your first website.
