HTML And CSS

Web design basics


Introduction to HTML

 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.


 From the name, we can infer that HTML is a markup
language.
 A markup language tells the browser how to display
content
 It’s the standard language used to create and structure
content on the web.
 No matter how advanced a website gets, at its core is
HTML.
Basic structure of an html
<!Doctype html>5
<html>
<head>
<title> Page Title Here </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Hello, world </h1>
<p> This is my first webpage </p>
</body>
</html>
Overview

 <!Doctype html>: declares the type of document


 <html>: Root element where every other element is
embedded
 <head>: Metadata, title and links to stylesheets
 <body>: The visible components of the webpage
Essential HTML Tags
Tag Purpose
<h1> - <h6> Headings (largest to smallest)
<p> Paragraphs
<a> Hyperlink
<img> Images
<ul>, <ol>, <li> Unordered list, Ordered list, List item

<div> Container for content


<br> Line break
Basic styling with CSS
 CSS stands for Cascading Stylesheet
 It is a language used to specify the look and feel of an
html page, that is: colours, fonts, and other styles like
animations.
 Plain pages tend to be boring, so web developers
make use of different styles to make html pages more
beautiful and presentable
Ways of Styling
1. Inline CSS:
In inline styling, the styles are applied in the element itself using
the style attribute
<p style=“ color : blue; ”> Blue Text </p>

2. Internal CSS:
The styles are applied in the html document under the <style>
tag.
<style>
p{
color : blue;
}
</style>
3. External stylesheet:
In external styling, the styles are specified in an external
stylesheet, which is essentially a document with the .css extension.
The stylesheet is then linked to the html page using the <link>
tag.

In the stylesheet (styles.css):

p{
color : blue;
}

In the html document (in the <head> tag):

<link rel = “stylesheet” href = “style.css”>


CSS Syntax
 A stylesheet is made up of what we call a ruleset.
 A CSS ruleset is made up of a selector and a declaration block.
 The selector, or group of selectors target the elements we want to style:

div {
background-color : black;
color : white;
}

in the example above, div is the selector


 The declaration block is what’s inside the curly braces.
 Each declaration consists of a property and value.
