Homepage Structure

Image Explanation:

  1. The home page is divided into 3 sections: header, main and, footer.
  2. The header section contains the logo and the navigation bar.
  3. The main section contains the main content of the page like introduction, achievements, projects, etc.
  4. The footer section contains the copyright, contact details, and social media links.

Step 1: Create a basic HTML page

Using the structure of the homepage explained above, create a basic HTML page.

The page is divided into 3 sections by HTML elements:

  1. Header
  2. Main
  3. Footer

Header

The header section contains the logo which is nothing but just a link to the homepage here (you add your own logo image) and also contains the navigation bar.

<header class="header">
  <a href="#" class="logo">Developer</a>
  <nav class="nav-items">
    <a href="#">Home</a>
    <a href="#">About</a>
    <a href="#">Contact</a>
  </nav>
</header>

Main

The main section contains almost everything that you want to show on the homepage so it is also bigger than any other section.

For simplicity, we are just using the intro, achievements, and about us section in this example.

From the image, you can get a rough idea of the structure of the main section.

<main>
  <div class="intro">
    <h1>A Web Developer</h1>
    <p>I am a web developer and I love to create websites.</p>
    <button>Learn More</button>
  </div>
  <div class="achievements">
    <div class="work">
      <i class="fas fa-atom"></i>
      <p class="work-heading">Projects</p>
      <p class="work-text">I have worked on many projects and I am very proud of them. I am a very good developer and I am always looking for new projects.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="work">
      <i class="fas fa-skiing"></i>
      <p class="work-heading">Skills</p>
      <p class="work-text">I have a lot of skills and I am very good at them. I am very good at programming and I am always looking for new skills.</p>
    </div>

      <p>I am a web developer and I love to create websites. I am a very good developer and I am always looking for new projects. I am a very good developer and I am always looking for new projects.</p>

Step 2: Style The Elements Using CSS

We have created the HTML part now let's style the elements using CSS.

To select the element to style use the CSS selectors.

We are going to use CSS flexbox to align the elements horizontally and vertically.

The complete CSS code is as follows:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Sriracha&display=swap');

body {
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
/* CSS for header */
.header {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

.header .logo {
  font-size: 25px;
  font-family: 'Sriracha', cursive;
  color: #000;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin-left: 30px;
}

.nav-items {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  margin-right: 20px;
}

.nav-items a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #000;
  padding: 35px 20px;
}
/* CSS for main section */
.intro {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 520px;
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 100%), url("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1587620962725-abab7fe55159?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1031&q=80");
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

.intro h1 {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 60px;
  color: #fff;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin: 0;

}

.achievements .work {
  display: flex;

.achievements .work i {
  width: fit-content;
  font-size: 50px;
  color: #333333;
  border-radius: 50%;
  border: 2px solid #333333;
  padding: 12px;
}

.achievements .work .work-heading {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: #333333;

.about-me {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 40px 80px;
  border-top: 2px solid #eeeeee;
}

.about-me img {
  width: 500px;
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
  border-radius: 10px;
}

.about-me-text h2 {
  font-size: 30px;
  color: #333333;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin: 0;
}

.about-me-text p {
  font-size: 15px;
  color: #585858;
  margin: 10px 0;
}
/* CSS for footer */
.footer {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  align-items: center;
  background-color: #302f49;
  padding: 40px 80px;
}

.footer .copy {
  color: #fff;
}

.bottom-links {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 40px 0;
}

.bottom-links .links {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  padding: 0 40px;
}

.bottom-links .links span {
  font-size: 20px;
  color: #fff;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin: 10px 0;
}

.bottom-links .links a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #a1a1a1;
  padding: 10px 20px;
}

To play with style try using your own positioning and color values.
