bookKey Components of a Website

In this section, we'll break down the essential parts of a website and see how they work together to create the web experience we use every day.

Domain Name

A domain name is your website's address on the Internet, which users type into their browser (for example: google.com, amazon.com, netflix.com).

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

These three technologies form the core of every website:

  • HTML provides the structure and content;
  • CSS adds design, layout, and visual styling;
  • JavaScript makes pages interactive and dynamic.

Web Browser (Client)

A browser is the user's tool for accessing the web. It receives HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from the server and renders them into a usable webpage.

Server

A server hosts the website and sends the necessary files back to the browser whenever a user visits a page.

Note
Note

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files are exactly the files a browser receives from a server when loading any website.

Since we are here to dive into website development, let's dive slightly into these technologies.
