As a beginner in web development, creating a simple yet responsive website can be an exciting and educational project. It is a great way to learn the basics of HTML fundamentals and CSS styles and gain practical experience in creating and designing a website.
In this blog post, I will guide you through the process of creating an attractive, responsive coffee website using HTML and CSS. My website will focus on a coffee theme, but you can customize it. By creating this website, not only will you learn to create a website, but you’ll also learn how to structure web content properly and apply styling to make it responsive to different screen sizes.
To create our coffee website, we will use common HTML elements like header, navigation bar (nav), ul, li, a, and button, along with some basic CSS properties to style and make our website responsive and attractive. So as a beginner, you should have no trouble following the steps and understanding the codes.
Steps to Create Responsive Coffee Website HTML and CSS
To create a responsive coffee website using HTML and CSS, follow these simple step-by-step instructions:
- First, create a folder with any name you like. Then, put the necessary files inside it.
- Create a file called
index.html
to serve as the main file. - Create a file called
style.css
for the CSS code.
To start, add the following HTML code to your index.html
file: This code includes essential HTML markup with different semantic tags, such as header, nav, h2, a, ul, li, p, and button, which are used to create the layout of our website. Additionally, this code includes a few lines of JavaScript code to toggle the mobile menu on small screens.

Next, add the following CSS code to your style.css
file to style and make your coffee website responsive and attractive. Feel free to experiment with different CSS properties, such as colors, fonts, and backgrounds, to give your personal touch and make the website even more beautiful.
