  Creating an HTML website is a great first step into web development! Here is a simple, step-by-step guide to get you started: ### Step 1: Set Up Your Tools You don't need expensive software. You just need: 1. **A Text Editor**: Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac) works for beginners, but I recommend free editors like **VS Code** or **Sublime Text** which help with coding. 2. **A Web Browser**: Chrome, Firefox, or Edge to view your site. ### Step 2: Create the File 1. Open your text editor. 2. Create a new file and save it as `index.html`. - *Important*: The extension must be `.html`, not `.txt`. ### Step 3: Write Basic HTML Code Copy and paste this basic structure into your file: ```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>My First Website</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> <a href="https://www.google.com">Click here to go to Google</a> </body> </html> ``` ### Step 4: Save and View 1. Save the file (`Ctrl + S` or `Cmd + S`). 2. Go to the folder where you saved `index.html`. 3. Double-click the file. It will open in your default web browser. ### Next Steps Once you are comfortable with this, try adding: - **Images**: Use the `<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description">` tag. - **CSS**: To change colors and fonts, add a `<style>` section inside `<head>` or link an external CSS file.
