What is a website? How do they work?

Most of us kids have been on a website before.  If you are reading this, then CONGRATS, your on a website lol.


Websites are digitally designed pages, that appear in a web browser applications, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.  This means a browser reads a digital file, to show us what design has been created on the file. These files are written in a specific type of programming language.


The most common type of programming language web browsers read is HTML.

What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.


When a browser reads a file, this file uses a Language, known as HTML, to inform the browser how to display the file.

HTML Elements are the building blocks of HTML web pages.  

HTML Elements are represented by tags.


Here is an example of a file that has been written in HTML.  I used a simple Note Pad to type these tags.
