The next stage would be to decide on the structure of the web pages themselves.

In National 5 you could have created a structure similar to the one shown on the left.
Using 3 Div tags to assist in creating the structure of the page.

We have used 3 individual ID attribute's so that we can select each DIV tag individually
#top{
background-color: darkred;
}
#middle{
background-color: pink;
}
#bottom{
background-color: pink;
}

The ID selectors are denoted by the use of a # symbol. If we only styled the div tags themselves then all divs would adopt the same appearance.
Code Explanation
Code Explanation
We have had to use the id attribute inside the DIV tags
<div id = "top">
<h1>Company Name</h1>
</div>
To ensure that our CSS selector only targets a specific instance of a DIV element and does not style every div element we create a CSS ID
#top{
background-color: darkred;
}
ID’s can act as anchors within a page too. We have discussed how ID’s are more specific than classes but if we have an ID called Contact Us such as below:
<div id = “ContactUs”>
We can use an URL of http://yourwebsitedomain.com#contactus as a hyperlink.
<a href = http://yourwebsitedomain.com#contactus > Contact Us </a>
It will automatically scroll the page down to the point in the page where the element with an ID of contactus.
