Sandbox and Lab Environment

HTML, like any other coding language, is best learned by working hands-on with code.

Easily try code with our "Try it Yourself" editor.

Here, you can edit HTML code and view the result:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

If you want to explore more and host your project, we have a feature called Spaces that allows you to build, test and deploy static websites for free.

Here you get a secure sandbox environment called Spaces, where you can practice coding and test projects in real-time.

Spaces allow you to test, build, and deploy code. This includes a W3Schools subdomain, hosting, and secure SSL certificates.
