| What Is a Website A website is a collection of web pages (documents that are accessed through the Internet, such as the yahoo website below. A web page is what you see on the screen when you type in a web address, click on a link, or put a query in a search engine. A web page can contain any type of information, and can include text, color, graphics, animation and sound. When someone gives you their web address, it generally takes you to their website's homepage, which should introduce you to what that site offers in terms of information or other services. From the homepage, you can click on links to reach other sections of the site. A website can consist of one page, or of tens of thousands of pages, depending on what the site owner is trying to accomplish. Yahoo website THE HTML (How it works) HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a web programming language designed to create web documents or web pages. Based upon SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language, HTML's basic concept involves the use of "tags. These "tags, or "markup" alert the browser that the document contains hypertext so it can be interpreted and rendered as a web page document. All HTML documents consist of a mix and match of HTML "tags" and regular text. Tags only aid in describing the document content or text, and thus leave the actual appearance and layout decisions fora web browser to handle when the web page is opened. TYPE THE DOCUMENT TITLE 18 HTML documents are plain-text files created using any basic or high-level text editor, such as Notepad, TextPad, Microsoft Word, or any other HTML authoring program. When you create an HTML document, you must save it with a .html or .htm extension. By default, most text editors save documents with a .txt extension. The .html or .htm extension allows the document to be rendered (using an HTML interpreter by browser) and displayed by a browser. Unfortunately for web designers, web documents are browser dependent. Different browsers display content differently. A document may look crisp and clean in Internet Explorer, but it may have a slightly different look in Netscape, or vice versa. Web page designers should make every attempt to create portable HTML documents that can be opened by many different web browsers while showing little or no visual differences. Reliable HTML web pages are created by following all syntax rules and understanding which tags are supported by all web browsers.

What does a person need to create a web page A text editor, and a web browser. Inmost cases, a web page or website, which is a collection of related web pages, should initially be designed locally on a computer, and then once completed, the web documents and files maybe uploaded for publishing on the World Wide Web. This makes website or web page creation extremely easier than trying to edit existing documents on the WWW.
