Step 1: Understanding the Basics

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the foundation of every website. HTML5 introduced new semantic elements, improved multimedia support, and simplified coding practices.

A basic HTML5 webpage includes:

• A doctype declaration to define the HTML version.
• A head section containing metadata and links to styles or scripts.
• A body section for the main content.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Environment

Before you start coding, ensure you have:

• A text editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, or Notepad++)
• A web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)

Step 3: Writing the Code

Open your text editor and create a new file. Save it as index.html. Here’s the basic structure of an HTML5 webpage:

Step 4: Testing Your Webpage

1. Save the file.
2. Open it in your browser by double-clicking the file or dragging it into the browser window.
3. You should see a simple webpage with a header, a content section, and a footer.

Step 5: Customizing Your Webpage

Feel free to experiment by:

• Adding more sections or paragraphs.
• Changing the styles in the <style> block.
• Including multimedia like images or videos using the <img> and <video> tags.
