HTML Basics
Learn the building blocks of every web page with semantic HTML5 tags.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create web pages. It describes the structure of a page using a series of elements.
Every HTML document starts with a <!DOCTYPE html> declaration and contains <html>, <head>, and <body> sections. Inside the body, you use tags like <header>, <main>, <section>, and <footer> to organize content.
Common tags include headings (<h1> through <h6>), paragraphs (<p>), links (<a>), images (<img>), and lists (<ul>, <ol>). Always use semantic tags to improve accessibility and SEO.
Practice by creating a simple page with a heading, a paragraph, a link, and an image. Once you understand HTML, styling it with CSS is the next step.
