Building a Page (Step-by-Step)

When thinking about page structure and layout, a good plan is to start with divs and begin identifying and grouping elements within:

  1. “How many divisions (or sections) of my page do I want?” Create these <div></div> elements accordingly.
  2. Name important divs using the id="" attribute.
  3. Within the divs, add structural html content, like headings, paragraphs, etc.
  4. Add class="" attributes to divs that need styling.
  5. Use the <span></span> element around structural elements that need inline styling, like specific words of a paragraph.
  6. Within the divs, add illustrative elements like images, audio, or video.
  7. Repeat.
