Developers use code to build the pages. HTML gives them structure, and CSS helps control colors, spacing, and layout.
Fun fact: HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
Some websites also use JavaScript to respond when you tap a button or type in a box. A server can store information and send pages to visitors.
Fun fact: JavaScript can help a page react without loading a whole new page.
Before a website is shared, its makers test it on different screens and fix what is confusing or broken. Even after launch, they can keep improving it.
Fun fact: Responsive layouts can adapt to different screen sizes.
