This is a basic web page.

Seriously. This is as basic as it gets.
Written entirely in Notepad, it has no bells, whistles, cookies, fripperies, audio, video... Nothing but tags and text.

It's beautiful, really.

This is a web page, made exactly the same way as we made them twenty years ago, when the only way you could show a picture was by including a link to the file - allowing the user to download the picture. And it would take half an hour to download, before you could actually see the picture.

You kids have no idea how lucky you are!
The internet that you take for granted is new. It didn't exist at all when I was born. Chances are, your parents can say the same!
The World Wide Web (World Wide Web - the first three letters of most web addresses) was born at a time when you needed a PC (or bigger/better computer) to access it.
A computer that would cost you more than a second-hand car, at that! Now, you can have access to it from a £10 mobile phone.

 

Web pages can be easy

You will be told that you need lots of different programs to create a website. That you need to learn many different things.
You don't.
You can create a page much, much better than this one using just Notepad. HTML is easy to learn.

If you want a 'modern' website, that's a little harder, but not a great deal harder.
Learn HTML, then learn CSS. Once you master those two, you will be able to create a very modern looking website.
Then, of course, you will need to make it perform like a modern website. So learn JavaScript, followed by PHP.
JavaScript and PHP require you to learn about programming principles, I'm afraid, but I'll let you in on a little secret...
You only need to learn programming once!
That's right. Once you know how to write code in one language, you only have to learn a different syntax to master another. I can, and have, switched from BASIC, through Smalltalk, COBOL, C++, PHP, JavaScript, Python, Perl, and am now learning to use Unity, which is C# based. And those are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head - I know there are many I've missed out of the list.

 
 

That's it. I'm done.
This is, after all, just a quick, simple page. Designed as nothing more than a landing pad for visitors to the site who don't know what they're looking for.
Thank you for stopping by!
