Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. All websites are built using HTML — even if site-building software is used, HTML is in the background.
  2. CSS is used for creating styles to use throughout the process of creating a website.
  3. Web design software allows a drag-and-drop approach to creating a website.
  4. You need a domain name and hosting to create your own website.

Keywords

  • HTML - hypertext mark-up language — the language used to create and structure content on the World Wide Web

  • Domain name - a memorable address used to identify a website or other resource on the internet

Common misconception

Websites require specialist knowledge to create and publish.

Drag-and-drop software and online platforms allow anyone to create and publish a website easily.
