History

First web server
NeXT Computer used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN as the first Web server.

HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. Later, CSS was proposed by Håkon Wium Lie in 1994 to separate presentation from structured content.

Basic structure

A web page is organized using HTML tags that define sections such as headers, paragraphs, lists, and interactive elements.

Benefits of separating content and style

Keeping structure in HTML and design in CSS allows you to update the appearance of an entire website by editing a single style sheet.
