🧑‍💻 Learn HTML as a Beginner – Build Your First Web Page!

If you're just starting your web development journey, HTML is the perfect place to begin. It’s the foundation of every website on the internet, and the best part? You don’t need any coding experience to get started.

In this post, I’ll share what HTML is, why it’s important, and how you can follow along with my HTML tutorial video for beginners — where I guide you through building your first simple web page, step-by-step.


🧱 What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s the code that tells your web browser how to display content — things like text, images, links, and structure.

Think of it like the skeleton of a website. Without HTML, there’s nothing for your browser to show.


🎥 Watch the Tutorial (YouTube Video)

👉 I’ve created a beginner-friendly video that walks you through the entire process of writing your first HTML page.

📺 Watch it here: [https://youtu.be/bLBA4YyfRgg]

This video is perfect if:

  • You’ve never written code before
  • You want to understand the structure of a web page
  • You’re looking for a quick and simple explanation without any fluff

⚠️ I don’t show how to set up VS Code in the video — but don’t worry, I’ve linked a separate setup guide in the description so you can get started easily.


🔍 What You'll Learn in the Video

In the tutorial, we cover:

  • Setting up your HTML file
  • Using important tags like <h1>, <p>, <a>, and <img>
  • Creating a basic structure for your page
  • Writing clean and readable code

By the end, you’ll have a simple, working web page — and the confidence to build more!


💡 Why Start with HTML?

Starting with HTML gives you:

  • A strong foundation before learning CSS and JavaScript
  • An understanding of how websites are structured
  • A fast way to see results (you write code → it shows up in the browser!)

🚀 What’s Next?

After you’re comfortable with HTML, you can move on to:

  • CSS to style your page
  • JavaScript to make it interactive
  • And later, tools like React, VS Code extensions, and GitHub
