Creating a Web Page

Web pages are created using a combination of various coding languages and frameworks
A web page forms part of a website and displays content for user interaction
The process of creating a web page includes structuring, styling, and adding interactive behaviour

Structuring a Web Page

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the core language used to structure a web page
An HTML document starts with a DOCTYPE declaration that instructs the browser about the version of HTML
This is followed by an HTML tag which contains all other HTML elements
The HTML document is split into HEAD and BODY sections
The head section includes metadata about the document, while the body section contains the content that will be rendered on the web page

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylising language used to enhance the appearance of a web page
CSS can control aspects such as layout, colors, fonts, and more
CSS rules can be added inline with HTML, in the HEAD of the HTML document, or in an external file
The style is applied based on a selector that targets specific HTML elements
CSS follows a cascading nature, meaning styles can inherit or override other styles

JavaScript is a scripting language used to add interactive behaviour to a web page
It can be used to manipulate HTML content, handle events, create animations, validate form inputs, and provide dynamic content
JavaScript code can be written inline with HTML, in the HEAD or the BODY of an HTML document, or separately in an external file
JavaScript interacts with HTML elements through the DOM (Document Object Model)

A web page is published to the web by uploading it to a web server
A domain name needs to be registered and linked to the web server
The web page can then be accessed over the Internet using the unique domain name

Remember: Constructing a web page requires a balance of structure (HTML), style (CSS), and interactive behaviour (JavaScript).
