\"Understanding<\/strong><\/p>\n

HTML documents are the building blocks of a website. They include HTML tags as part of the “RAW” technical code. But these files cannot become the elegant web pages that you see online\u2026 without the help of a web browser.<\/p>\n

Why should you care if you are the owner of a website?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

You, along with many other small business owners, probably think that the “Rest of the World” sees your website exactly the way you do.<\/p>\n

But that is not the case.<\/p>\n

What exactly does a web browser do?<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When you open your web browser and type in a web address (URL)<\/strong> for a web page, the browser submits a request to the server. It is the web browser’s job to take the HTML<\/strong> document, related CSS<\/strong> files, photos, images and other necessary files that a web designer has uploaded to the server, process the  “RAW” technical code and load all the elements together… all in an effort to create the elegant web page that you and your designer had in mind.<\/p>\n

Every time you perform an action on the page, such as clicking buttons and following links, the browser continues the process of requesting, processing, and presenting content.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The web designer writes the instructions for a web page.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The web browser interprets those instructions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are many different web browsers, such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you have a desktop computer, a laptop, tablet or a mobile device, you probably have one pre-installed. There are also many versions of  web browsers. If you have Internet Explorer on your computer, you may have IE9<\/strong>, IE10 or IE11<\/strong> installed.<\/p>\n
