HTML, CSS and Javascript are the crucial components that make up each element of websites. Each of these programming languages may seem like a minefield to master but take it one step at a time and it’s easy to differentiate between each one.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)
HTML is how the actual content is inputted into your website page. It contains the text and the overall structure of your webpage. You can compare HTML to an empty photo frame.
CSS
CSS helps you make the page branded and look great! Your webpage will have a stylesheet – these are the instructions your website has to make the page display as you need it to. CSS can help you do a number of things including:
- Set font size and colour
- Set border sizes and widths
- Add animations
Javascript
Javascript provides the functionality behind the page. It helps to enable widgets and the functionality onto your page. The possibilities with Javascript are endless. You could build Javascript into your site through widgets, forms or perhaps countdowns to your events.
