HTML Website
Building a real multi-page website ties together everything in the HTML tutorial. Here's the shortest possible roadmap.
Pages on a typical small site
| Page | Purpose | Required elements |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Introduce who you are or what the site is about. | Hero, value proposition, call to action. |
| About | Tell the story. | Headings, paragraphs, maybe a photo. |
| Services / Products | What you offer. | List or grid of cards. |
| Blog / Articles | Long-form content. | <article>, <time>, semantic structure. |
| Contact | How to reach you. | Form, address, links to social. |
Shared layout
Every page on a site usually shares the same header, navigation, and footer. Plain HTML repeats them on every page — modern stacks use a template engine (like Laravel Blade, Astro, or 11ty) so the layout lives in one file.
Steps
- Decide on the pages and the navigation between them.
- Set up a folder per page (or one HTML file per page).
- Build the shared header, nav, and footer once and copy them in.
- Style with one external CSS file linked from every page.
- Add a favicon and a
<meta name="description">on each page. - Test on a phone — most visitors will be on one.
Tip: Static hosting (GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify) is free and takes minutes to set up. Push your folder, point it at a custom domain, you're online.
