HTML Tutorial

HTML is the language that gives every web page its structure: the headings, paragraphs, links, pictures, tables and forms you see on a website.

With HTML you can build your own website, and it is the first step to becoming a web developer.

This tutorial starts from zero. Each lesson is short, uses simple English, and has examples you can change and run yourself.

Easy Learning with "Try it Yourself"

Every example has a Try it Yourself button. It opens the code in our online editor, so you can change it and see the result straight away, with nothing to install.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Page</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
<p>This page is made with HTML.</p>

</body>
</html>

Click the button above, change the text between <h1> and </h1>, and click Run to see your change.

Exercises and Quiz

Most lessons end with a short exercise. Answer it to check your understanding before you move on. The last lesson has a quiz on the whole tutorial.

What to Learn After HTML

HTML gives a page its structure. Next, learn CSS to style it with colours, fonts and layout, and then JavaScript to make it interactive.
