Creating a Website: The Missing Manual, 4th Edition by Matthew MacDonald

Chapter 1. Creating Your First Page

Every website is a collection of web pages, so it should come as no surprise that your journey to build a complete site starts here, with the writing of a single web page.

Technically, a web page is a special type of document written in a computer language called HTML (that’s short for HyperText Markup Language). Web pages are written for web browsers—programs like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Safari. These browsers have a simple but crucially important job: they read the HTML in a web page document and display the perfectly formatted result for you to read.

This chapter will introduce you to HTML. You’ll see how a basic web page works and learn how to create one of your own. For now, you’ll be working with web pages you store on your computer, visible only to you. Later on, in Chapter 9, you’ll learn to put web pages online so anyone with a web connection can see them.

HTML: The Language of the Web

HTML is the single most important standard in web design—and the only one that’s absolutely required if you plan to create a web page. Every web page is written in HTML. It doesn’t matter whether your page contains a series of blog entries, a dozen pictures of your pet lemur, or a heavily formatted screenplay—odds are that, if you’re looking at it in a browser, it’s an HTML page.

HTML plays a key role in web pages: It tells browsers how to display the contents of a page, using special instructions called tags that tell a browser when to start a paragraph, italicize a word, or display a picture. To create your own web pages, you need to learn to use this family of tags.
