Step 3: Add Style with CSS
Now, let's give it some style with CSS. CSS is what you'd use to control visual styling, like colors, fonts, and spacing. Here's some example styling that can be used to beautify your page:

/* styles.css */
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}

h1 {
color: #4CAF50;
}

p {
font-size: 18px;
}
Linking CSS to HTML How to link your CSS to your HTML file. Remember, your CSS file needs to be linked inside the head of your HTML document. Example:

Now, go and play with colors and font sizes to understand how each of these changes affects your page. With CSS, everything is editable, so get creative!

Step 4: Responsive Design Basics
Make sure your website looks good on every device with the help of media queries. That's a kind of CSS technique which will help your page change its layout on the go depending on screen size. Here's a simple example:

/* styles.css */
@media (max-width: 600px) {
body {
font-size: 16px;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

}
Now, when the screen width is 600px or smaller, such as on a phone, the font sizes will be smaller to fit better.

Step 5: Troubleshooting and Testing
Coding rarely goes without a hitch, especially the first time. Here is what to do when things are not working:

Check your code for typos. Sometimes one character in the wrong place will cause something not to work.

There's something in the browser called Developer Tools. Right click on your page, and click "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" to see what is going on behind the scenes.

Try it out in different browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari to make certain everything appears as well as behaves the way you want it to.
Remember, the best way to learn is by doing. Go ahead and try different tags of HTML, different properties of CSS - don't be afraid to make mistakes!

Step 6: Learn from Free Resources
There are plenty of resources out there that can help you learn HTML and CSS. Here are some recommended ones:

W3Schools - Great for quick references and tutorials on HTML/CSS basics.
MDN Web Docs (Mozilla) - A thorough resource on web technologies including HTML and CSS. Codecademy Free courses that will walk you through step-by-step to build projects. Each of the resources listed will allow you to dig in deeper and understand the technologies, which in turn builds your confidence as you build.

Wrap Up
Knowing HTML and CSS is just the very beginning one needs to master for web development, since these form the backbone of any website. And this, with constant practice, will get you starting to create more complex layouts and adding interactivity to your pages using JavaScript in no time.
