How Do Websites Work?In Feburary 2016 18,

Websites are essentially a group of associated files that are displayed through a web browser. Web browsers can read various types of programming languages; however, the most common websites are written in hypertext markup language (HTML) and are parsed and displayed via a web browser. The simplest website can be one HTML file, while more advanced websites can consist of an infinite number of interrelated files.
Components of a Website
HTML is essentially a structure-based language. That is, people can place the content that they wish to display in an HTML file. Further, they can expand their website by placing links within the HTML file to other files or web pages. In order to take care of the design aspect of a website, a CSS file (cascading style sheet) must be created. This CSS file can change design aspects of a website including color, font style and position of images. A link to the CSS must be placed in the HTML file.
Publishing a Website
Once the HTML files and CSS file have been created, they must be transferred somewhere in order to be published and viewable via the web. In order to publish your website, you will need to upload the files of your website to a web server. This is essentially a hard drive that is interfaced via the Internet. You can gain access to a web server through a web hosting service (see Resources). The web hosting service will also provide you with a URL, which is a permanent location where your site can be accessed. Your main page, or your homepage, should be renamed to index.html. This will be the page that the web server will display when your URL is entered into a web browser.This describes the most basic way that a website works. You create files, upload them to a web server, and view them through a URL. There are, however, much more complex database-driven websites that may function differently.
