Public lesson

Create project folder and index.html with semantic sections

You’ve already shown that you can build semantic HTML. This time, focus on making the project reproducible: create its own folder, give it Git history, and put the page structure in one clearly named file.

Tasks

Open a terminal in your practice workspace. Choose a short folder name for this project, then replace PROJECT_FOLDER below with that name.

mkdir "$PROJECT_FOLDER"
cd "$PROJECT_FOLDER"
git init
touch index.html

Tasks

Check that you are in the new folder and that Git recognizes it:

pwd
git status

Tasks

Open index.html. Keep the document structure below, but replace every uppercase placeholder with content for your own page.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>REPLACE WITH A PAGE TITLE</title>
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <h1>REPLACE WITH THE MAIN PAGE HEADING</h1>

    <nav aria-label="Primary navigation">
      <a href="#FIRST_SECTION_ID">FIRST LINK LABEL</a>
      <a href="#SECOND_SECTION_ID">SECOND LINK LABEL</a>
    </nav>
  </header>

  <main>
    <section id="FIRST_SECTION_ID">
      <h2>REPLACE WITH THE FIRST SECTION HEADING</h2>
      <p>REPLACE WITH CONTENT FOR THIS SECTION.</p>
    </section>

    <section id="SECOND_SECTION_ID">
      <h2>REPLACE WITH THE SECOND SECTION HEADING</h2>
      <p>REPLACE WITH CONTENT FOR THIS SECTION.</p>
    </section>
  </main>

  <footer>
    <p>REPLACE WITH FOOTER CONTENT.</p>
  </footer>
</body>
</html>

Tasks

Make sure each navigation link’s href exactly matches the id of its target section. For example, a link to #about must point to an element with id="about".

Tasks

Open index.html in your browser.

Verify these behaviors:

  • The page has one prominent h1.
  • Both section headings appear below it as h2 headings.
  • Clicking each navigation link moves to its matching section.
  • The footer appears after the main content.
  • The browser tab shows the title you chose.

Tasks

Then inspect the HTML in the browser’s developer tools. Confirm that header, main, and footer are separate elements—not just div elements with similar class names.

Tasks

Return to the terminal and run:

git status --short

Tasks

Now save the first version:

git add index.html
git commit -m "Create semantic page structure"

Tasks

Finally, run:

git status
