Building Your Frontend
HTML Structure
Start by creating the basic HTML structure in index.html
. Here's an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>English Tutorial Web App</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Logo">
<h1>Welcome to the English Tutorial Web App</h1>
</header>
<main>
<!-- Content goes here -->
</main>
<footer>
<p>© 2023 English Tutorial Web App</p>
</footer>
<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
CSS Styling
Next, define the styles for your HTML elements in styles/main.css
. Here's an example:
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
}
header img {
width: 100px;
height: auto;
}
main {
padding: 20px;
}
footer {
background-color: #333;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
JavaScript Functionality
Finally, add some JavaScript functionality to your app in scripts/app.js
. Here's an example:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
console.log('The DOM has been fully loaded and parsed');
});
