Bravo! You’ve made it to the end of the Introduction to HTML course! Now that you have a solid understanding of HTML tags and elements, it’s time to put your skills to the test by building a personal website.

Not it is time for you to build a very basic website to showcase your personal information, such as your name, photo, interests, and hobbies. Create a website with several pages, including a homepage, a page for your interests, a page for your hobbies, and a page for your background. You can also add a page for your contact information. Here are some steps that you can follow to build your website:

Plan Your Website
#

Before you start coding, take some time to plan your website:

  • Decide on the purpose and goals of your website (it can be your personal website, for example!)
  • Determine the content and structure of your website.
  • Sketch a rough design or layout of your website.

Create the HTML Structure
#

Once you have a plan in place, it’s time to start coding:

  • Use a text editor to create a new HTML file.
  • Add the basic HTML structure to your file, including the <!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head>, and <body> tags.
  • Use the appropriate HTML tags and elements to structure and organize your content.

Add Content to Your Pages
#

Now that you have the basic structure in place, it’s time to add content:

  • Create a homepage that introduces yourself and your website.
  • Create pages for your interests, hobbies, and background.
  • Use headings, paragraphs, lists, and other HTML tags to organize and format your content.
  • Add images and multimedia content to your web pages.

Add Navigation
#

To make it easier for users to navigate your website, add a navigation bar to the top of each page. You can use the <nav> tag to create a navigation bar. You can check out the previous lesson on navigation for more information.

Test Your Website
#

As you’re building your website, it’s important to test it in your browser to make sure everything looks and works as expected. Here are some tips for testing your website:

Open your HTML file in your browser to see how it looks!
