Building the website

Step 3

Create a file named basic.html and then code this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>

    </head>
    <body>
       <p>Hi there!</p>
    </body>
</html>

Right click on it on the right to open in file explorer. Double click on it to view in the browser. You should now see your coded webpage.

Step 4

Adding style:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            p {
                color: aqua;
                font: bold;
                font-size: 14px;
            }   body {
                background-color: black;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
       <p>Hi there!</p>
    </body>
</html>

                font: bold;
                font-size: 14px;
            }   body {
                background-color: black;
            }
        </style>
        <script>
            alert('hello I am an alert script')
        </script>
