October 13, 2024

Before you start, ensure you have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Requirements

To create your first website, you'll need:

An Operating System: Your computer's OS (Windows, macOS, Linux).
A Code Editor: Choose one:
1. Notepad: A basic editor, but limited.
2. VS Code: Recommended for its features and ease of use.
A Web Browser: To test your website (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge).

Building the Website

Step 1: Create an HTML File

Open VS Code or your preferred editor.
Create a new file and name it index.html.
Copy and paste the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First Webpage</title>
    <style>
        body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; background-color: #f0f0f0; color: #333; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
        header { background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; text-align: center; padding: 1rem; }
        section { padding: 20px; text-align: center; }
        button { background-color: #4CAF50; color: white; border: none; padding: 10px 20px; cursor: pointer; }
        footer { background-color: #333; color: white; text-align: center; padding: 1rem; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <h1>Welcome to My First Webpage</h1>
    </header>
    <section>
        <p>Click the button below for a surprise!</p>
        <button onclick="displayMessage()">Click Me</button>
    </section>
    <footer>
        <p>&copy; 2024 Your Name</p>
    </footer>
    <script>
        function displayMessage() {
            alert("Hello! Welcome to the world of web development!");
        }
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Run Your Code

Save the File: After pasting the code, save the file as index.html.
Locate the File: Navigate to the location where you saved the file.
Open in Browser: Double-click the file to open it in your default web browser.

If everything is correct, you should see your first webpage in the browser. Click the button to see the JavaScript in action!
