Constructing a Webpage – 7a

When browsing the Internet and various webpages in the past, I had never really thought of how they are constructed or how many aspects go into each and every page. However, it is vastly more complex as a whole than just words and pictures. Multiple languages are used in order to bring the page to life through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, brings structure to webpages. The code within HTML causes the webpage to look a certain way and give it the “structure” provided. For instance, heading tags structure titles onto the page and even can be ordered in importance which then lowers the font size. HTML also uses various elements such as lists, links, images, and even just basic text in order to add to the structure. While HTML adds structure, CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, adds design elements to the webpage. CSS helps to add color, font, layouts, and more to webpages. CSS provides the visual aspects to webpages and gives webpages the presentation as we see it. In the end, JavaScript provides the functionality to each webpage. JavaScript can make webpages behave in various ways in association to the user’s actions. JavaScript brings the page to life as it modifies the HTML and CSS coding to update an user’s interface. Overall, each coding language is used together in order to create one unique webpage for an user to interact with.
