HTML is designed on a modular basis, meaning every part of the web page has a specific “place.” An HTML element is a part of the page. Common HTML elements include “ ” for a “paragraph” and “” for the “title” of the page. In fact, the entirety of the HTML page is within the “<html>” element. Elements are begun and ended with tags, so a title would be written: “<title>This is the Title to the page.” Organizing code this way makes it easier to reference and control. Each element may also have characteristics. For instance, the “ ” (paragraph) tag can be aligned in a certain direction. These are the basic building blocks of HTML and what most designers should learn first.
