How Do You Create A Home Page?
The home page is the most important page of a website. While there are several ways to create a home page, there is only one way to structure a website. Properly creating a home page will ensure that your site is structured properly. First, you’ll need to decide if you’re creating your file online or offline. There are several programs, text editors, that allow you to create a home page online; but if you really want to learn and get the gist of it, offline is the way to go. In the text editor of your choice, you’ll begin by creating a file using the proper HTML tags. After you’ve created your first page you’ll need to save it as “index.html.” As a matter of syntax, most text files on the Internet end in “html.” That is the protocol that allows Web browsers to read your text document and interpret it as a Web page. In fact, all of your website’s pages, if they are strictly text files, would end in “html,” but only the home page would be called the “index.” Next you’d build other pages
