A Beginner's Guide to Building Web Pages

Hi guys,
If you're new to web development,HTML is the perfect place to start ! Let me explain what HTML is using simple, beginner-friendly examples.

HTML = The Building Blocks of Websites
Think of HTML as the skeleton of a website. just like your bones give your body structure, HTML gives a website its basic structure.

HTML creates the structure (headings,paragraphs,images)
CSS makes it look beautiful (colors,fonts,layout)
JavaScript makes it interactive (animations,forms,dynamic content)

What Does HTML Stand For ?
Hypertext Markup Language
=> Hypertext: Text that contains links to other text.
=> Markup: Using "tags" to label different parts of your content.

Why HTML is Perfect for Beginners

1.Easy to Learn: The syntax is simple and readable
2.Instant Results: See your changes immediately in the browser.
3.No Special Tools Needed:You can write HTML in any text editor.
4.Foundation for Everything: All websites use HTML as their base.

SUMMARY
HTML is the foundation of every website.It's not a programming language - it's a markup language that structures content.If you can write text and understand basic labels, you can learn HTML!
Every single website you visit uses HTML- from Google to Facebook to YouTube. It's the starting point for web development, and it's much easier than you might think!
