With just a bit of HTML and CSS, you can design and implement an eye-catching badge that represents your event and helps attendees stand out. In this blog, we'll guide you through the process of creating an attendee badge step by step. No advanced coding skills are required—just follow along and you'll have a stylish badge ready in no time!

Source Code

Step 1 (HTML Code):

Start by creating a basic HTML structure for your badge. Open your text editor and create a new file named index.html. Copy and paste the below code:

Here’s a breakdown of the different parts:

<!DOCTYPE html>: This declaration defines the document type and version of HTML being used, which is HTML5 in this case.

<html lang="en">: This is the root element of the HTML document. The lang="en" attribute specifies that the language of the document is English.

<head>: Contains meta-information about the document.

  • <meta charset="UTF-8">: Sets the character encoding for the document to UTF-8, which supports a wide range of characters.
  • <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">: Ensures the webpage is responsive and adjusts properly on different screen sizes.
  • <title>Attendee Badge</title>: Defines the title of the webpage, which appears in the browser tab.
  • <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">: Links to an external CSS file named styles.css for styling the webpage.

<body>: Contains the content of the webpage.

  • <div class="badge-container">: A container div element with the class badge-container that groups the badge content together.
  • <div class="badge-header">: A div with the class badge-header for the badge’s header.
  • <h2>Exclusive Event 2024</h2>: A heading element for the event name.
  • <div class="badge-photo">: A div with the class badge-photo for displaying the attendee's photo.
  • <img src="https://www.codewithfaraz.com/favicon.ico" alt="Attendee Photo">: An image element with a link to the attendee’s photo and an alternative text description.
  • <div class="badge-info">: A div with the class badge-info for displaying the attendee’s details.
    • <h3>Faraz</h3>: A heading element for the attendee’s name.
    • <p>Lead Designer</p>: A paragraph element for the attendee’s role.
    • <p>Frontend Component</p>: Another paragraph element for additional information about the attendee.
  • <div class="badge-footer">: A div with the class badge-footer for the badge’s footer information.
    • <p>Access Level: <span>Attendee</span></p>: A paragraph element showing the access level of the attendee, with the access level itself enclosed in a span element.

Step 2 (CSS Code):

Next, create a CSS file named styles.css and link it to your HTML file. This CSS will style the badge and make it look professional. Copy and paste the below code:

Here's a breakdown:

Font Import:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;600&display=swap');
