I started with learning some basic syntax from W3Schools.com website and tried using them first. I chose HTML and CSS for the designing. A horizontal navigation bar has been used in all the pages and a side bar, as shown here, is used in the assignment page.Some of the important tags used are:
A header bar(generally) to navigate through different pages of the website(home,about, assignments, project etc.)
Apart from the navbar, the new thing which I have used in this page is the sidebar which will navigate through all my assignments. Here I have used the help of w3schools website to identify a suitable sidebar and modify it.
