Web Development

All the students were given a markdown template that they can use to bulid their website; however, I felt like I wanted to do something that is more unique. Therefore, I have downloaded a readily available HTML template from freeHTML5.co and started working on it.

How Does HTML Website Work?


Terms like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are often called the building blocks of the Web, and most websites are bulit from these three languages.
What is HTML? HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML helps structuring pages into elements such as paragraphs, sections, headings, navigation bars, and such.
What is CSS? CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. While HTML is a markup language used to format/structure a web page, CSS is a design language that you use to make your web page look nice and presentable.
What is JavaScript? Now, if HTML is the markup language and CSS is the design language, then JavaScript is the programming language. JavaScript can program actions, conditions, calculations, network requests, concurrent tasks and many other kinds of instructions.

Why A Template?

Using a template has been very helpful in:

  • Very Fast to make: It only took one day to finish customizing the entire website and two days to make it make it online.
  • Designed Pages: Having pages pre-desigend makes the pages looks really nice and also easier to make.
  • Javascript: Enhance the user experience by implementing complex features on web pages.
