What is a web
A web page or webpage is a

HTML, that is viewed in an

internet browser. A web page can

be accessed by entering a URL

address into a browser’s address

bar. A web page may contain text,

graphics, and hyperlinks to other

web pages and files.

Creating web page using a note pad

Windows Notepad is a basic word

processing program that you can use

to write your web pages. Web pages

are just text, and you can use any

word processing program to write

HTML.
1. Save the Page as HTML 1. When you create a page, save the
file before you get too far along.
Use all lowercase letters and no
spaces or special characters in the
filename.

1. In Notepad, click File and then Save

As.
2. Go to the folder where you save your

website files.
3. Change the Save As Type drop-down

menu to All Files (*.*).


4. Name the file, using an extension of

either .htm or .html.


2. Start Writing the Web Page

Start your Notepad HTML5 document with the


After you specify the doctype, begin your HTML.

DOCTYPE. This string tells the browsers what type


Type both the beginning tag and the end tag and

of HTML to expect. leave some space for your web page body

The doctype declaration isn't a tag. It tells the


contents. Your Notepad document should look

computer that an HTML5 document is arriving. It


like this:
goes at the top of every HTML5 page and it takes

this form:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>

</html>

3. Create a Head for Your Web Page

The head of an HTML document is where basic information about your web page is stored

—things like the page title and possibly meta tags for search engine optimization. To create

a head section, add the head tags in your Notepad HTML text document between the html

tags.

<head>
</head>
As with the html tags, leave some space between them so you have room to add the head

4. Add a Page Title in the Head Section


The title of your web page is the text that

displays in the browser's window. It is also

what is written in bookmarks and favorites

when someone saves your site. Store the

title text between the title tags. It won't

appear on the web page itself, only at the

top of the browser.


This example page is titled "McKinley,

Shasta, and Other Pets."


<title>McKinley, Shasta, and Other Pets</title>
It doesn't matter how long your title is or if it spans multiple lines in

your HTML, but shorter titles are easier to readu, and some browsers

cut off long ones in the browser window.


5. The Main Body of Your Web Page

The body of your web page is stored

within the body tags. It should come

after the head tags but before the

ending html tag. This area is where

you put the text, headlines,

subheads, images and graphics,

links and all other content. It can be

as long as you like.


Leave extra space between the

starting and ending body tags.


This same format can be followed to

write your web page in Notepad.

<body>
</body>

6. Creating an Images Folder

Before you add content to the body of

your HTML document, set up your

directories so that you have a folder for

images.

1. Open the My Documents

window.
2. Open the folder where you

store your web files.


3. Click File > New > Folder.
4. Name the folder images.

Store all the images for your website in the images folder so that you can find

them later. This makes it easy to upload them when you need to.
Using Notepad for

HTML

In the early days of the web, tools like Notepad were the standard tool for

writing new webpages. However, given the complexity of most modern pages,

plus the interplay of HTML with CSS, almost no one uses Notepad anymore—

either they use graphical tools like Adobe Dreamweaver, or they rely on coding

platforms like Visual Studio Code. A text environment that offers linting and

code correction is preferable to a blank and undifferentiated canvas, so

although Notepad works in a pinch, it's far less optimal for HTML editing than

coding editors or graphical web-design applications
