Hey! Let me teach you about making websites – it’s actually pretty cool and not as hard as you might think!
Getting Started with Websites
So, you want to learn how to make websites? Awesome! You’ll need to learn HTML and CSS – don’t worry, you don’t need to know any super complicated programming stuff to get started.
What You Need
First, you’ll want a good program to write your code in. It’s kind of like Word, but for making websites. Here are some cool ones you can use:
VS Code – It’s free and probably the best one to start with
WebStorm – This one costs money but it’s really fancy
Sublime Text – Also costs money but lots of people like it
Atom – This one’s free too
Notepad++ – Only works on Windows but it’s pretty good
What’s HTML Anyway?
HTML is basically the language websites are written in. Think of it like building blocks – you use it to put text, pictures, and buttons on your webpage. The newest version (HTML5) can do really cool stuff – it’s so good that it replaced a bunch of old things like Flash (which used to be what people used for videos and games on websites).
Three Main Parts of a Website
1. HTML – This is like the skeleton of your website. It’s where you put all your stuff
2. CSS – This is how you make everything look cool – like changing colors and making things look pretty
3. JavaScript – This makes your website do things when people click buttons and stuff
Making Your First Webpage
Here’s what a super basic webpage looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!– This is where you put stuff that people don’t see –>
</head>
<body>
<!– This is where you put the stuff people do see –>
</body>
</html>
It’s kind of like a sandwich – you need the top and bottom parts (that’s the <html> tags), and then you put all your stuff in the middle!
Here’s a real example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Cool Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hey, this is my first webpage!</p>
</body>
</html>
Save this as “index.html” (that’s what websites look for by default), and boom – you’ve made your first webpage! Double-click it and it’ll open in your browser. Pretty cool, right?
Want to try it yourself? Here’s what you should do:
1. Run the code that says “Hello, World!” at the top of the page.
2. Add alternative text to the original page and run it again.
It’s super simple once you get the hang of it! Let me know if you want to learn more cool stuff about making websites!
