Hey there! 👋
Have you ever wanted to create your own website but didn’t know where to start? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! In this blog, I’ll show you how to build a beautiful and responsive travel website using just HTML and CSS. That’s right — no need for JavaScript or any complex tools.
We’ll walk through everything step-by-step so you can follow along easily. By the end, you’ll have a cool landing page where users can search for destinations and travel dates. Whether you’re in school or just starting to learn web development, this guide is perfect for you!
✨ What Are We Going to Make?
Let’s take a look at what our final website will have:
- A navbar (top menu) with links and a “Contact Us” button
- A main section with a large heading and description
- A search form where users can enter their location and travel date
- A nice image on the right side to make it look professional
- Animations that appear when you scroll down
- A layout that works on mobile, tablet, and desktop screens
Pretty cool, right? 😄 Now let’s get into how we can create all of this.
🧱 Step 1: The Basic HTML Structure
Every website starts with HTML. Think of HTML like the skeleton of your webpage — it holds everything in place.
First, we start by creating a new file and name it index.html. This is where we’ll write our HTML code. Inside it, we’ll include the necessary tags to tell the browser how to read our page.
🧭 Navbar
We create a navigation bar at the top of the page. This will have:
- A logo
- Links like Home, About, Tools, and Contact
- A Contact Us button
- A menu icon (hamburger) that shows up on small screens
The navbar stays fixed at the top so it’s always visible.
🖼 Header Section
Under the navbar, we make a header section. This will have two main parts:
- Text Content: A heading that says something like “Explore the World and Enjoy Your Trip”, and a small paragraph describing the travel site.
- Image Area: A picture on the right side that shows a travel-related image (like mountains, airplanes, or beaches).
This section gives visitors a great first impression of the website.
🔍 Search Form
Next, we add a simple form where users can enter:
- The location they want to visit
- The date they want to travel
- A search button to submit the form
Even though it doesn’t work like a real search engine, it looks real and makes the page more useful.
🎨 Step 2: Adding Style with CSS
Now that we have the structure, it’s time to make it look nice and colorful. That’s where CSS comes in. CSS is what we use to style the webpage — like choosing colors, fonts, spacing, and layout.
We create a new file called style.css and link it to our HTML. Then we start adding styles to each part of our website.
🌈 Colors and Fonts
We use soft colors like white, green, gray, and black to make the page look modern. We also use Google Fonts to make the text clean and readable.
📏 Layout
We use a layout called Flexbox to place the text and image side-by-side on larger screens. On smaller screens, the layout stacks vertically so everything still looks good.
📱 Responsive Design
Responsive design means that our website adjusts automatically to different screen sizes — mobile, tablet, and desktop.
We use something called media queries in CSS to make sure:
- The navbar becomes a menu icon on small screens
- The image and text stack vertically on phones
- The form fits properly on all devices
This makes our website look great no matter where people view it.
🌀 Step 3: Adding Animations (The Easy Way)
Now let’s add a little magic! ✨
We use a free animation library called AOS (Animate On Scroll). It makes elements move or fade when you scroll down the page.
To use it, we:
- Add a link to the AOS CSS file in the
<head>section - Add the AOS JavaScript file before the closing
</body>tag - Use
data-aosattributes in our HTML elements to apply animations
For example, we can make the heading slide in and the form fade up when the user scrolls. This makes the website feel more alive and fun!
🧪 Step 4: Testing and Final Touches
Once we’re done writing the HTML and CSS, we open our file in a browser and check if everything works:
Navbar shows up with all the links
Header looks nice with the text and image
Search form appears in the right place
Animations work when we scroll
Page looks good on mobile and desktop
If something doesn’t look right, we go back and adjust the code until everything is perfect.
