1:25

Start your journey in web development by learning the building blocks of every website.

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages.

It defines the structure and content of a web page.

  • Elements: Building blocks of HTML
  • Tags: Wrap content to give meaning, e.g., <p> for paragraphs
  • Attributes: Provide extra information about elements, e.g., id, class, src

Basic HTML Structure

Every HTML page follows a basic template:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>Welcome to my first HTML page.</p>
</body>
</html>
  • <!DOCTYPE html> Declares HTML version
  • <html> Root element
  • <head> Contains meta info, title, links to CSS
  • <body> Content visible on the page

Common HTML Tags

Text Elements

  • Headings: <h1> to <h6>
  • Paragraph: <p>
