What’s HTML and CSS?
HTML
- Stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- 🦴 HTML is the language used to build websites. It’s the skeleton of all content on the web.
CSS
- Stands for Cascading Style Sheets
- 💄💅 CSS is used on top of the HTML to style the page.
Whenever you go to a website (e.g. www.gov.uk) your browser sends a request to a special computer called a “server”. The server sends back HTML and CSS, which your browser turns into a webpage for you to look at.
