We'll create a complete web page from scratch using HTML and our recently acquired knowledge about various elements used in HTML . Create a folder on your desktop with the name Movies Freak and add a new notepad file to it .Rename this file to index.html . index.html signifies the home page of your website .
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Movies Freak</title>

</html>
Now divide your page into different sections . Define each section with a <div> .Assign an id to
each division to uniquely identify it .
e.g.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
