Chapter 1 - Structure

The Basis of Structure

Each page for a website is laid out with a simple structure. It starts with a large header then carries into a box of text that is important. Then there is a subheading with more text and the cycle repeats itself. This is the beginning of creating a simple structure to any website.

Tags also Known as Elements

The structure of HTML is made up of tags which are also known as elements. There are very many tags that can be made up to make a website come to life. The common ground for them is that they always start with an opening tag and ending tag. The element is what brings text or something as simple as a box into existence on a web page. A tag is also made up of attributes. The attributes give the elements more information of what is going on to the page. Understanding what different tags are and what their functions are will only help designers excel at building websites.

To Template or Not to Template

Web designers can make a website by making up their own code in a developing program. However, there are other ways to create a website. Many people who want to create blogs or simple websites will often use templates or in other words a content management system. Using a template allows people who don’t understand code to create a website easily. Of course, this does mean there is less creative freedom involved in creating your website.
