HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It's the standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites, and HTML tags label pieces of content such as headings, paragraphs, and links.

Understanding HTML is crucial for web design. Each tag has its own meaning and function, which browsers interpret to display content on the internet. This forms the structure of your web pages and is the first skill to master in your web development journey with FYC. With FYC's tutorials, even beginners can grasp the basics of HTML swiftly. Creating lists, inserting images, and developing navigation bars become clear through practical examples and hands-on exercises provided by FYC.

What is CSS?

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the language used to style the visual presentation of web pages. CSS dictates the colors, fonts, layout, and many other aspects of the aesthetic appeal of a page.

Combining HTML and CSS enables web designers to create branded, consistent appearances across an entire website. FYC's resources simplify CSS, showing you how to style elements and layouts effectively. Our FYC tutorials also cover advanced CSS techniques such as animations and responsive design to ensure your pages look great on any device.

Building Your First Web Page

Taking your first steps with HTML and CSS can be exciting. FYC's guided lessons help you apply what you learn by constructing your first static web page from scratch.

Through comprehensive lessons, FYC emphasizes the importance of structuring your HTML properly, followed by applying CSS styles to bring your webpage to life. The satisfaction of bringing your own designs to the web can be highly rewarding, and FYC is dedicated to making your learning experience both educational and enjoyable.
