How Websites Work

Websites are a fundamental part of today's digital world, serving as vital sources of information and interactive platforms accessible on computers, tablets, and smartphones. Understanding how websites function is increasingly important.

A website is essentially a collection of interconnected web pages accessed through web browsers. To view a website, a user needs a web browser capable of interpreting the code that forms the website's content.

At the heart of every website lies HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). This is the foundational language used to structure and define the content of web pages. HTML utilizes tags and attributes to dictate the visual appearance and interactive behavior of a website. You can view these HTML-based web pages using popular browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and others.
