About this Guided Project
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the basic markup language for websites. HTML provides a website’s structure, content, and formatting through document components called elements. To specify how elements should appear, developers use a stylesheet language called Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

In this guided project, you will learn how to create a simple web page using HTML. You will create an HTML document. Next, you will add a head element to define the web page’s metadata, which is data about the web page such as its title and publication date. You will create a body element. Then you will practice adding other basic structural elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, lists, tables, and links.

Completing this quick and easy project will prepare you to create and style simple websites and start learning more complex web development skills.

Director & CTO, IBM Developer Skills Network

I've had a very productive career in tech. I've touched many areas from mainframe, to manufacturing automation (IoT), to databases, big data, data science and AI, blockchain, and of course full stack and cloud-native development and DevOps. I started my career in test and QA, did quite a bit of development, product management, team leadership, and people management before becoming an executive. I had some great wins including bringing to market a billion $ product. And had some failures along the way. But throughout my career, one thing has always remained constant. I learned everything I could and used every chance I had to get a new skill. My goal in life is to help those who have an appetite for learning to acquire knowledge and skill to build their career or simply become better users of the latest tech.
