HTML Introduction & How the Web Works

HTML means HyperText Markup Language. It is the language used to build the structure of every web page — headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms.

What is HTML?

HTML means HyperText Markup Language. It is the language used to build the structure of every web page — headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms.

You do not write programs in HTML. You write tags that tell the browser what content exists and how it is organized.

Real-life example: Think of HTML like the skeleton of a human body. Bones give shape and hold everything in place. CSS is like clothes and skin (how it looks). JavaScript is like muscles (movement and action).

How websites work — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Every website uses three main parts. HTML gives structure (what is on the page). CSS gives style (colors, fonts, layout). JavaScript gives action (buttons that work, forms that check input, menus that open).

When you open a site like Rishtaara in your browser, the server sends HTML first. Then the browser loads CSS and JavaScript files linked inside that HTML.

Real-life example: Building a school notice board — HTML is the board and pinned papers (content). CSS is the paint, borders, and neat arrangement. JavaScript is the person who updates the board when new notices arrive.

HTML = structure (headings, text, links, images)
CSS = look (colors, spacing, mobile layout)
JavaScript = behavior (clicks, validation, animations)

HTML HOME — what this course covers

This Rishtaara HTML course covers everything from your first page to forms, tables, media, and accessibility — explained in simple English.

You will learn tags one by one, write real code, and build small pages step by step. No need to memorize everything — practice and bookmark this course.

Real-life example: Learning HTML is like learning the alphabet before writing sentences. Each tag is one letter. Soon you combine them into full pages.

Basic pages, text, links, and images
Lists, tables, forms, and layout boxes
Head section, semantics, and responsive setup
Video, audio, canvas, SVG, and web APIs

Tip: Keep one folder on your computer called my-website. Save every lesson file there so you can open and review them anytime.

What you will learn in this HTML part

By the end of these 12 lessons you will be able to create a complete static web page with text, images, links, a contact form, and basic media.

You will understand how browsers read HTML, how to use DevTools (F12), and how to write clean code that works on mobile phones too.

Real-life example: After this course you can make a simple shop menu page, a personal portfolio, or a school project page — just like designing a notebook cover and filling it with organized notes.
