Chapter three starts to help the reader start to build a webpage with various exercises and short readings. Robbins shares the rules of naming extensions which include; using proper suffixes for your files, never use character spaces within file names, avoid special characters, file names may be case sensitive, keep the file names short, and having self-imposed conventions. Other than text, the reader also learns the structure is needed. Robbins instructs tags are needed to create the structure within the webpages. The web page is broke down into the head and the body. the head is the mandatory tile element and the body contains what is wanted to be shown on the web page. Through the chapter, a step by step website is made with the necessary steps and knowledge for success. In chapter  5, lists are introduced by Robbins.
