When choosing web design languages, make sure you take some time to research your options to ensure you're making the best choice for your project.
When you think about the language you are using to design your website keep in your mind “what is important about web design language, and what part of web design efforts can you take or leave?”.
If you like to create and publish your own web or blog, your first step should be to decide what type of web you would like to create and what web design language you would like to use.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. A markup language is a set of markup tags, and HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.
This language is so simple you can type the syntax into a text editor, such as Notepad, save it with an .html extension and instantly have a web page. HTML can also be used to include Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both HTML and CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicit presentational markup
