CUSTOM WEBSITES / GUIDED PRACTICE

Build the page structure

Create semantic sections for a business service page.

Written by Ray / SETLYUpdated 1 October 2026

THE RESULT YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD

Done means it works.

Every section has a clear heading, internal links find their targets, and the reading order works without styling.

Practice project: Harbor Home Care

01 / GET READY

Before you start.

Platform / editor
HTML, CSS and JavaScript; Python local preview server
Access & plan
Text editor, modern browser and Python for local preview. Hosting and form-backend accounts are needed only for their corresponding lessons.
Starting point
Complete the previous lesson or use an equivalent prepared demo project.

Keep a note of the exact account, project and version you use. Work with demo data and record the expected result before making changes. Never place passwords, verification codes or private customer records in your evidence.

02 / LEARN THE TOOL

Open the official walkthrough.

Use the publisher's instructions and available screenshots to locate the current controls. Then return here for the SETLY exercise and its result checks. These links open on the publisher's website.

Source credit belongs to the named publisher. These are external references, not SETLY recordings or a claim of affiliation. Screen names and plan availability can change.

03 / PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Your task, step by step.

Use one labelled demo record or project so you can find your work again. Finish each action before continuing; if the screen differs, consult the matching official source rather than guessing.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    In index.html, place navigation in header, page content in main and ownership/contact information in footer.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Add sections with unique ids: services, about and contact. Give the page a descriptive h1 and each section an h2.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Use real lists for grouped service features. Add links with meaningful text and point internal links at existing section ids.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    Load the page without relying on decorative styles. Follow every internal link and check the order still makes sense.

04 / GET UNSTUCK

If something goes wrong.

Start with the likely cause

If a link does nothing, compare its href fragment with the target id character for character; avoid duplicate ids.

My screen is different from the guide

Check the product, editor, account role and selected project first. Open the credited official instructions for your version. Record the difference and pause any action whose effect you cannot verify.

The screen looks correct, but the result is missing

Inspect the saved record, published page or execution log that should prove the action. A preview, success message or draft is not always evidence that data was stored or a message was delivered. Retest with one unique demo value.

05 / PROVE THE RESULT

Check it before you call it done.

Every section has a clear heading, internal links find their targets, and the reading order works without styling.

Keep useful evidence

Record the test date, project/version, expected result, observed result and a non-sensitive screenshot or record reference. Mark anything you did not test as untested. Your checkmarks do not certify an untested result.
