What is HTML and CSS?
A website generally comprises many components that contribute to its smooth
functionality & design. The foundation of a website relies on its HTML & CSS, which give
a wholesome look & feel to the website.
Let’s have a closer look at these two vital elements of a website:
What is HTML?
HTML basically stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is used to build web pages
and is responsible for everything that you read on a website. The HTML language is like
the building block of a webpage, and allows you to manage various elements including
text, images, videos, tables, lists, forms, and other information. The language is written in
tags, a type of open & close bracket structure. Tags basically help to create links,
manage text, and build the entire page layout.
For example, this link to our website is written in HTML.
For example <strong><a href="http://sitessimply.com/">this link to our website
</a></strong> is made of HTML code.
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is generally used to manage your website’s
look & feel. CSS basically deal with the font size, color, type, images styling, page layout,
effects, and everything else that gives an awesome look to the website.
Suppose if HTML is a room, then CSS is the color of the walls, the size of the room, & the
ornamentation.
In this sentence written below, the bold part is made with CSS instead of HTML:
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> bold part</span> is made with CSS
You might be wondering about the difference here. Well! The difference lies in the “style”
in a tag. CSS is further classified into three types, internal, inline, and external CSS.
1. Internal: This type of CSS is defined in the <head> section of the “current”
webpage.
2. Inline: Defined within the HTML of a particular page element.
3. External: External CSs is defined on the external style sheet, which is linked to the
webpage.
Guidelines for using HTML & CSS
• You can use CSS in an HTML file, but HTML cannot be used in a style sheet.
• HTML always goes in the HTML file
• CSS can go into the HTML file or you can also create a separate CSS file.
Conclusion:
For a better website, HTML and CSS both plays a very important role. After putting HTML
structure in place, it is styled using CSS. If you are also looking for your website to be
