Here are a few tips - don't use tables (tags including <table>, <td>, and <tr>) for laying out your pages, instead used divs (<div>), and Don't use font tags (<font>) for
anything.
Basically, how a web page works is there are two parts: the HTML, where the content resides, and the CSS, which styles all the content (HTML and CSS are two scripting languages).
A basic web page consists of a few tags,
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title> Title that appears at the very top of the window </title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
A tag opens with the tag name between two brackets (<...>), and closes with the tag again, but this time with a slash in front of the tag (</...>). Create a page in notepad and save it as *.html.
Hope that gave you some idea of how an HTML page looks/works. Here are a few more resources:
