All websites are identified by a unique address, which tells browsers where they are located.
Simply put, when you enter a web address into your browser, it goes to that specified location and retrieves the web page. The process of retrieving this information is carried out by a web service using technologies such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP), which essentially define how information and files are transmitted over the web.
The browser then displays the retrieved web page on your screen using technologies such as HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). They structure and present the web page’s information to the visitor by telling the browser exactly where to put what on the screen.
Fortunately, you don’t need to know how to write computer code or have in-depth knowledge of these technologies to make a website. In fact, you can turn your website idea into a fully functional site in a matter of minutes using a website builder.
For example, Hostinger’s website builder lets you create a website with AI. You only need to input a few sentences, like your brand name and website description, and the tool will generate the template in a few minutes. Then, use the drag-and-drop editor, which lets you intuitively edit all the elements of a website.
