Experiment 1: Create a web page and deploy on a local web server
This experiment demonstrates how to create a simple login page using HTML and CSS and deploy it on a local web server.
Implementation
The implementation consists of two main files:
index.html: Contains the HTML structure of the login formstyles.css: Contains all the styling for the login page
HTML Code (index.html)
