How to create notes taking site using HTML, Bootstrap and JavaScript ?

Last Updated : 18 Apr, 2025

We are going to make a website that will take our notes and saves them for our future use using HTML, CSS and JavaScript .

Prerequisite:

Basic understanding of HTML, Bootstrap, and JavaScript.

Approach:

HTML: We will create the basic framework of the website using HTML.
Bootstrap: makes our work easier as compared to CSS. So we have used Bootstrap to beautify our framework.
JavaScript: The basic logic of saving the notes and deleting them is inside the index.js file.

Example: Here we first design the structure of our project then we will code for the functionality.

HTML
