If you are thinking about creating a new website, which you believe would not need some complex web applications and scripts, you can do the projects yourself by knowing HTML codes only. You know, although HTML is not as complex as some professional web programming languages like PHP or JAVA but there are a lot of things doable and possible by knowing the codes and scripts. Some functions such as creating new pages by text files, adding tables to websites, changing the text parts on the web, replacing some color codes with other ones, adding links to other pages and more things can easily be done. Now let's say you want to set up a basic homepage, which has some graphics and web pictures displayed at the top parts and then need some buttons which act as navigation system on your site and also need to have a form which can be used by your website visitors for contacting you, all of these things and even more can easily be done via using HTML codes and commands. The options are just too many and there are a lot of things you can do while working on some light web based projects and sites. By using the term light we mean, websites that do not need complex web functions like databases.

As you might know, databases are softwares and scripts that need some programming knowledge for being run and operational online and merely knowing the normal HTML codes might not be enough for knowing exactly how databases are created, added to the websites and then become active. But worry not as in most websites created for personal reasons and even many of the commercial ones belonging to companies you might not see databases being used or some sophisticated softwares running. Through HTML codes and having some bright and innovative ideas, you can create really attractive websites. You can make your websites more attractive and beautiful through adding pictures and graphics that are of high quality as well as writing good stuff and contents for people to read and all of these factors are important for having well built websites and also the core of the point is that you can do all of these via HTML without even relying on the other web programming codes and programs.

Please note that there is nothing wrong having other web pages types beside the html ones on websites as web browsers are easily capable of displaying all types of internet resources. For example, assume you are running a purely html created site and all of you pages have the .html extensions. Now, one day, you decide running a script on your server which needs to be installed on a .php page and you might wonder how to do this task. Please note that as mentioned, you can easily create a combination of web files and scripts together while building sites and therefore, nothing will be wrong having tens of html pages as well as some php ones because all of them will easily become visible and accessible on the net. You know, creating websites using the lighter html made pages that do not have complex scripts running at or other semi advanced web resources built via other programs and languages is absolutely possible. There are no exclusive rules and regulations to follow and you have many options and resources to choose from and used for creating your web pages and the good old html rules and codes can be excellent for development of light as well as professional internet projects.
