Change HTML Coding to Visualforce/Apex

We were using webtabs to open a link to our own training site. Unfortunatley the vendor (third party) changed the URL and on the backend has X-Frame-Options enabled, making our webtab useless. What we would like to do is createa visualforce page to display some custom links directing users to the training site. I managed to get the two hyperlinks to display with Apex/my background in HTML coding, but next what I want to do is format this Visualforce page to be similar to an HTML area home page component that we have. Is there a good guide out there to help convert html speak to Apex/Visualforce?

For example, I thought I'd have to do an <a href....> tag in the code, then was able to google what that should be in apex (<apex:outputlink value...>), but I was hoping there would be a massive guide out there.

Thanks!

You can use all your traditional HTML inside visualforce. From what it sounds like, this might be the easist thing for you to do.
That being said, apex does allow you to do some things with less code.  In particular style the page to look like a traditional salesforce page

The trailhead on visualforce is a good place to star
