HTML
Web pages are created with a special language HTML (Hyper Text Markup
Language), which is interpreted by a web browser to produce hypertext, a
blend of text, graphics and links.
You can view the source of raw HTML cod by choosing the View Source option in your web
browser.
To build a website you could learn how to write HTML tags, the coded
instructions that form web pages, or else use an HTML editor, a WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get)
application that converts a visual layout into HTML code. A simpler
option is to use a web template provided by a web-based site builder, where
you just fill in the information you want on the page.
