Website Parts: A Very Simple Guide

What this means

A website is like a digital room. A page is one wall of that room. A section is one box or area on that page.

Before you start

  • No coding knowledge is needed.
  • Open one of your sites in another tab if you want to look at real examples.
  • Read slowly and imagine each part like pieces of a toy house.

Quick check

  • You know that a page is made of smaller parts called sections.
  • You know a button does something when clicked.
  • You know preview is a safe place to look before saving.

Step-by-step

  1. A website is the full thing people visit on the internet.
  2. A page is one screen inside the website.
  3. A section is one area on that page, like the hero area, about area, or contact area.
  4. A link takes you to another page or website.
  5. A button is something you click to make an action happen.
  6. A preview is a test look, so you can check changes before saving or publishing.
