Create A Web Page
Overview
The content layer of a web page is written in HTML, and building it is a bit like assembling a document from labelled building blocks. Every heading, paragraph, list, table, image and link is wrapped in tags that tell the browser what each piece is. Get the structure right and the browser knows exactly how to organise your page, search engines can read it, and your styling later has clean elements to work with.
In this lesson you will learn the skeleton every page shares, the difference between the head and body sections, and the tags for headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, images and hyperlinks. You will meet metatags that tell the browser and search engines about the page, bookmarks and anchors for jumping around, and the important rule about using relative rather than absolute file paths for local links.
