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.
