The structure or content layer of a web page is the underlying HTML code of that page. Just as a house's frame creates a strong foundation upon which the rest of the house is built, a solid foundation of HTML creates a platform upon which a website can be created. (ThoughtCo.)

1. HTML5 Tutorial
2. HTML Introduction
3. HTML Editors, but use the text editors you already downloaded
4. HTML Basic Examples
5. HTML Elements
6. HTML Attributes
7. HTML Links
