What You WON’T Need

Expensive degrees (yet!)

Costly software (we use free tools!)

Years of learning (start NOW!)

Today’s toolkit: Motivation + a browser. Optional: snacks 🍕

Your Free Toolkit

Code Editor: VS Code (free, popular). Alternative: CodePen (online, no install)

Browser: Chrome or Firefox (press F12 for developer tools)

Your Idea: Pick one:

"My Top 3 Games"

"Art Portfolio"

"Fan Page: [Band Name]"

"Blog: My [Hobby] Journey"

Step 0: Setup (1 Minute)

Create a folder called my_first_site

Inside, make two files: index.html and style.css

Step 1: HTML – Your Page’s Bones (15 Minutes)

HTML defines content. Copy this into index.html and customize the bold text.

My TOP 3 Games! | [Your Name] Welcome to My Gaming Zone! 🎮 My Top 3 Games: Game Title 1 - Why it’s #1 Game Title 2 - Why it’s awesome Game Title 3 - Underrated gem Cool Game Art: Image source: Unsplash

🔁 Save → Open index.html in your browser. See your content!

Step 2: CSS – Style Magic (25 Minutes)

CSS controls design. Paste this into style.css and tweak the values.

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; }

body { font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; background-color: #f0f8ff; color: #333; padding: 20px; max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; }

header { text-align: center; padding: 30px 0; background-color: #4e89ae; color: white; border-radius: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; }

h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }

h2 { color: #43658b; margin: 20px 0 10px; }

main section { background: white; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.1); margin-bottom: 20px; }

ol { margin-left: 25px; } li { margin-bottom: 8px; } strong { color: #ed6663; }

img { width: 100%; max-width: 600px; height: auto; display: block; margin: 15px auto; border-radius: 5px; }

footer { text-align: center; padding: 15px; margin-top: 20px; color: #666; font-size: 0.9em; }

🎨 Experiment: Change colors (e.g., #4e89ae → #ff6b6b), fonts, or padding. Refresh your browser to see the changes!
