Creating a clean and functional website layout is the first step for any beginner in web development. A typical layout includes a header with navigation links, a main content area, and a footer with copyright or contact details.
The navigation bar (navbar) at the top allows users to move between different sections of your website.
It should be simple, easy to read, and should not move or shift when hovered over. Adding a transparent border in the default state helps prevent layout shift on hover.
The main content section is where you display your actual content — text, images, or other elements.
This section should be well-structured and readable, with adequate spacing and alignment to guide the user's eyes naturally.
Finally, the footer is where you can include copyright information, helpful links, or contact details.
A simple footer with light background and centered text gives a professional look to your website.
With just a few lines of HTML and CSS, you can build a neat and responsive layout that works across different devices. As you grow more confident, you can explore adding animations, grids, and advanced features.
