HTML is your start.

What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the language that structures the format of a document with the following elements: links, images, text, and other objects.

HTML files usually have an htm or html extension and can be created with any text editor, including Notepad.

Programmer’s Notepad is an excellent free program which provides you with a nice programming environment with syntax highlighting, opening multiple tabs under its window, templates and more. I use it when I edit simple HTML files. So check it out.

Where do I start coding HTML?

With Notepad, simply open a new file. Then go to File -> Save As. Choose All Files under Save as type.

Then give your file the name homepage.html. Any name with the .html extension should work fine.

Any other text editor can create HTML files the same way or provides you with HTML templates that will automatically give your file an .htm or .html extension.

Coding your first homepage

<html>
<head>
 
<title> Title of your first homepage</title>
 
</head>
<body>
 
Hello World! I finally found a way to talk to the internets...
 
</body>
</html>

Save it and you are done! Now simply, open up your html file using your favorite browser. Congratulations! You just created your first website!
