Creating Web Pages with HTML

May 24, 2009

“Where can I learn how to design a web page with html coding?”

HTML is the starting point to creating and designing web pages, before you can really jump into anything website related you need to know at least some HTML. Even with hosted platforms like Weebly or Webs that supplies web page templates its good to know Html so you can customize, add code, and edit the templates to your liking.

Getting your feet wet, start with the basics.

Getting started with HTML

More advanced features of HTML

w3schools – by far the most comprehensive resource out there for all web related languages including HTML.

When it come to designing the actual website it’s a good idea to learn CSS, all websites now use CSS for controlling the sites design. It’s basically a single file that controls all your webpages design. Lets say you had 100 HTML pages, now way back in the day you would need edit each and every single one of those HTML pages if you wanted to change something. With CSS you can control the design of all those HTML pages with just one file. Yay! Again you don’t have to learn everything about CSS just enough so you can edit the code so you can do stuff like change fonts, font-colour or background colour.

Alright, when you think you got all the basics down it’s time to start messing around with real HTML and CSS codes. The only way you can really learn is by playing with the codes and making mistakes.

OSWD – Here you can download free website templates and edit till you can’t edit no more. They come with all the necessary HTML files, images, and CSS file.

You may need a Text Editor if you don’t already have one, I really like Notepad++. It’s like Windows Notepad on steroids.

Alright hopefully that’s enough to get you started and keep you busy for awhile. Have fun!
