WEB PAGE DESIGNING
A web page is written using a special language called HTML
(HyperText Markup Language). This language helps organize the content on
the page like text, images, videos, buttons, and links to other web pages.
Along with HTML, web pages also use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which
controls how the page looks—such as colors, fonts, and layout. Sometimes, web
pages use JavaScript to make the page interactive, like showing pop-ups,
animations, or responding to your clicks.
Every web page has a unique address called a URL (Uniform
Resource Locator). This address helps your browser find and show the exact
page you want to see. For example, “https://www.aboutcomputerhere.com” is the
URL for the homepage of your blog. When someone types this into their browser,
they see your home web page.
HTML
* HTML is the scripting language.
* HTML is used to prepare web pages.
* HTML is discovered by Tim-Berners Lee, in Geneva, Switzerland in 1990.
Content Management System (CMS)
A web content management system (WCMS) is a software system that provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow users with little knowledge of web programming languages to create and manage website content with relative ease. A robust WCMS provides the foundation for collaboration, offering users the ability to manage documents and output for multiple author editing and participation.
Hypertext or Hotspot
HTML allows creating links from one HTML page to other pages or another section of the same document. Clicking on a section of a text or an image in the HTML document switches to another document or image or another section of the same document. The text or an image that creates such links is called Hypertext or Hyperlink or Hotspot.
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
HTTP uses internet address in a special format, called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). It contains the protocol, the server name, the directory name and the file name:
protocol, the server name, the directory name and the file name:

Parts of a Web Page
Web pages usually contain several key parts:
- Header:
This is often at the top and contains the website’s name or logo and
navigation menus to move to other pages.
- Body:
The main content area where text, images, videos, and other information
appear.
- Footer: Found at the bottom, usually contains copyright info, contact details, or links to important pages.
How Do Web Pages Work?
When you enter a URL in your browser, the browser sends a
request to a server (a powerful computer that stores web pages). The server
then sends back the files for that page (HTML, CSS, images, etc.), which your
browser reads and shows you as a complete web page.
Web pages are connected through hyperlinks, which are clickable texts or images that take you to other web pages or websites. This is why the internet is called the “web” — because all these pages are linked together like a giant spider web.
Types of Web Pages
Web pages can be simple or complex:
- Static
Web Pages: These pages stay the same unless someone manually changes
the code. They are easy to create but do not change often.
- Dynamic Web Pages: These pages change based on user actions or data, like social media feeds or online stores. They use server-side programming languages like PHP, ASP.NET, or JavaScript frameworks.
Why Are Web Pages Important?
Web pages are the building blocks of the internet. They allow people to share information, sell products, learn new things, and connect with others worldwide. Whether it’s reading news, watching videos, shopping online, or using social media, all of this happens through web pages
Summary
In simple words, a web page is a document you see on the
internet. It contains text, pictures, and other things, and it is created using
special languages that browsers understand. Every web page has a unique
address, and together with many other web pages, it forms a website. Web pages
make the internet useful, fun, and interactive.
