Welcome to the Simple Website Tutorial! This guide will walk you through the steps to create a basic website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a simple website with an HTML structure, styled with CSS, and interactivity added using JavaScript. By the end of this guide, you will have a basic understanding of how these three technologies work together to create a functional webpage.
Create a project directory and set up the following file structure:
simple-website/
├── index.html
├── styles.css
└── script.js
Open your code editor and create a file named index.html. Add the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Simple Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
Hello World!
<script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Create a file named styles.css and add the following code to style your webpage:
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}Create a file named script.js
Ensure that the CSS and JavaScript files are linked correctly in your index.html file. The <link> tag for CSS should be inside the <head> section, and the <script> tag for JavaScript should be just before the closing </body> tag.
Open your index.html file in a web browser to see your simple website in action. You should see a styled heading, a paragraph, and a button that displays an alert when clicked.
- Ensure the file paths in the
<link>and<script>tags are correct. - Use proper HTML structure and semantics.
- Keep your CSS organized and use meaningful class names.
- Avoid inline styles and JavaScript as much as possible for better maintainability.
- Test your website in different browsers to ensure compatibility.
Congratulations! You've created a simple website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is just the beginning – there are many more features and technologies to explore. Keep learning and experimenting to build more complex and dynamic websites.
