Static web development

Static web development is the basic form of web development to produce basic websites that are not complex.

HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the building blocks of web development.

You may think of HTML, CSS and JavaScript as a house, where HTML is the framework, CSS is the furnishing, and JavaScript is the electrical. The HTML serves as a framework where things are organized to, such as the navigation links of the website. The CSS adds styling to the website such as color, spacing and fonts. JavaScript are like the light switches of the house, where you can define what happens when a button is clicked.
