Basic web design principles and elements
1. Inserting a Page
This refers to creating a new page within your website. Each page can have a unique URL and content. When you insert a page, you typically need to provide a title and choose a template or layout.
2. Editing Elements
Once you have a page created, you can edit its various elements to customize its appearance and content.
Header: This is the top section of a page, often containing the website's logo, navigation menu, and search bar.
Image: You can insert images to enhance the visual appeal of your page. Images can be used for branding, illustration, or informational purposes.
Paragraph: This is a block of text that forms a paragraph. You can edit the text, font, size, and style within a paragraph.
3. Adding Elements

Heading: These are larger text elements used to divide content and create a hierarchy.
Text: You can add plain text to your page, which can be formatted using different fonts, sizes, and styles.
