YOUR FIRST WEBSITE

This tutorial will show you how to build your first HTML file. We use HTML scripting tags to structure what we display in html. In your html file you always need a head and body tag. Write the initialisation code in the head, and the code that form the display in the body section (text, color, images, etc.). When you run your file, your browser will first read the the head section, then it will continue to the body section.

In the HTML Editor under you can change and view the result, of a standard html file. Try to edit the file and press the update button.

Create your first html file like this:

1. Start by creating a new New Text Document.txt on your computer. 
2. Select all the code from the edit window below and copy it.
3. Paste the code into your new text file.
4. Make shure you see the file extension ".txt" on your text file.
5. Rename your text file to index.html or index.htm
6. Click your new website :) it should open in your webbrowser.


Explaining the HTML tags:

You should always begin your HTML file with the html start tag 
<html>

The head or initialisationt section is for initing and loading data.
This section is read by the browser before the website is displayed.
<head>

End head section
</head>

The body section decides what you are displaying on the screen.
You can show text, images, tables, buttons, etc.. 
<body>

In this example we only display a short text string..

End body section.
</body>

Always end your file with the html tag including end the end symbol / 
</html>

Try editing the text string in the real code below!
