HTML

Frontend

A plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript starter you can open and edit in your browser. There's no build step and nothing to install. Save a file and the live preview reloads, so it's a quick way to sketch a page or learn front-end basics.

What's included

Live preview built in

Run live-server and your page opens in a browser preview. Edit index.html, styles.css or script.js and the page reloads as you save.

Real VS Code

The full cloud editor with an integrated terminal, extensions and the .vscode settings that ship with the project.

Git ready

Clone, commit and push from the terminal, or connect a GitHub repo whenever you're ready.

No build, no config

Three files and nothing else. There's no bundler or package manager to set up, so you're editing real markup from the first second.

What is HTML?

HTML is the markup language that describes the structure of a web page. You write elements like headings, paragraphs, images and links, and the browser turns them into the page you see. It's the foundation every website is built on, usually paired with CSS for styling and JavaScript for behaviour.

This workspace is the classic trio: an index.html for structure, a styles.css for the look, and a script.js for interactivity. The starter renders a small page with a heading and the OneCompiler logos, and a line of JavaScript that reveals an instruction once the page loads. From there it's yours to change.

What's inside this workspace

Three files do the work. index.html holds the markup, styles.css handles the styling, and script.js runs in the browser once the DOM is ready. There's no package.json and no bundler, so what you write is what runs.

An images folder ships alongside them for the logos used in the starter, and you can drop your own assets in next to it.

Running your page

In the terminal, run live-server --no-browser. That starts a small static server and Studio gives you a built-in browser preview to open it. Edit any of the three files and the preview refreshes on save, so you see changes right away without reaching for a build command.

What you can build with it

Landing pages, portfolios, small interactive demos, or a sandbox to learn how HTML, CSS and JavaScript fit together. It's also a clean starting point if you want to add a CSS framework or a bit of vanilla JavaScript and grow the page from there.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. The workspace already has the editor, the terminal and live-server. Open it, run the server command and start editing the HTML, CSS and JavaScript in the browser.

Is there a build step?

No. The template is plain static files with no bundler or package manager. The browser loads index.html, styles.css and script.js directly, so what you write is exactly what runs.

How do I see my changes?

Run live-server --no-browser in the terminal and open the built-in browser preview. The page reloads automatically each time you save a file.

Can I add a framework or libraries later?

Yes. You can link a CSS framework or a JavaScript library from a CDN in index.html, or initialise a package.json in the terminal if you decide to bring in a build tool.

Can I deploy this page?

Yes. Since it's static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the output can be published to any static host. You can also push the project to GitHub straight from the terminal.

Is it free?

Yes. The HTML template runs on the free tier with no credit card required, so you can launch a workspace and start building right away.
