Step 1: HTML Structure
Create a basic HTML structure for the accordion. The accordion should have a container element with several child elements that represent the accordion sections. Each section should contain a header element and a content element.
Step 2: CSS Styles
Add CSS styles to hide the content elements by default and style the headers to indicate that they can be clicked.
