How to Create Forms on Web Pages
Forms are an essential element of virtually every website and instagram data online system. They are the primary way to collect information from users, such as login details, payment information, comments or feedback.

In this post, you will learn how to create forms on web pages quickly and easily, building simple and functional forms that can be incorporated into your projects.

What is a Form? Forms on Web Pages
A form on a web page is a space where users can enter data that will be sent to the server for processing.

This data may include personal information, user preferences or any other information necessary for the operation of an online system.

This feature is very common on many web pages and knowing how to create a good web form can directly affect the user experience with your page and the efficiency of the processes developed in the back-end.

Starting the Project – Creating HTML file in VS Code
To develop our form in HTML, we will use VS Code. If you don't have this tool installed yet, check out our class where I teach you how to download and configure its main extensions: VS Code for HTML and CSS

With VS Code installed, open the program and create an index.html file to start the project.

index.html file
This is the default name given to the main page of a web project, essential for the structure of the site.

Inside that file, type ! and press the Tab key . VS Code will recognize that you want to create an HTML file and will build all the basic structure for you.

This code is the necessary basis for the browser to interpret the HTML document and generate a page from it.

To view the created page, right-click on the index.html file and select the Open with Live Server option.

Open with Live Server
This option will only be available if you have installed the Live Server extension in your VS Code. With it, we can view the created page in the browser.

For now, there will be nothing displayed because we only have the base structure of an HTML document, without any actual content added.

Page Structure
The basic structure of an HTML document is divided into two main parts: <head> and <body> .

Within the <head>, general page settings are inserted, such as the character type ( UTF-8 ), page responsiveness (width and scale) and the title ( <title> ) displayed in browser tabs.

Just below, we have the <body>, the body of the document, where we insert all the visible content of the page and where we will create the structure of the form.
