Build Your First Web Page Today

A web page is just a text file with labels around the content. Those labels are called tags, and once you know five of them you can build almost anything.

 1<!DOCTYPE html>

 3  <head>
 4    <title>All About Me</title>
 5  </head>
 6  <body>
 7    <h1>Hi, I am Adam</h1>
 8    <p>I build games and draw robots.</p>
 9  </body>
10</html>

Add some colour

CSS decides how things look. Rounded corners and soft shadows make a page feel friendly straight away.

 8    padding: 20px;
