Basic HTML

Creating a Simple Website

Project Planning and Structure

Before starting to build a website, it's important to plan its structure. Defining the purpose of each page and the content structure will help organize the HTML code and keep the site focused. For this project, we will create a basic website with a home page, a contact section, and an image gallery.

Building the HTML Structure

Let's start by creating the basic HTML structure that we will use on all the pages of the site. This includes the <header>, <main>, <footer>, and a navigation menu sections.

html
"This HTML structure example includes a header with a title and navigation menu, a main content area, and a footer. The template is modular and can be repeated on each page of the site."

Adding Content and Multimedia

The next step is to add content and multimedia elements like images and videos. We'll create a simple gallery to display images on the "Gallery" page.

html
"Here we add a gallery with images using the figure and img tags. Each image has a descriptive title with figcaption, enhancing accessibility."

Integration of Forms, Tables, and Navigation

In the contact section, we can add a form and on the home page, a table with service hours.

html
"This contact form uses label and input tags to collect the user's name and email, with a submit button to complete the form."

Testing and Validating HTML

Finally, make sure the HTML is valid and error-free. You can use online validation tools like the W3C HTML Validator to confirm that the code meets HTML standards. Also, test the site on different devices and browsers to ensure that the design and functionality remain consistent.
