Key Files

  • index.html: The main HTML file where you will write your HTML structure.
  • styles/main.css: The CSS file where you will define the styles for your HTML elements.
  • scripts/app.js: The JavaScript file where you will write your JavaScript code.

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>&copy; 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');
});
