So, once again I have a problem with my DOEC code (for those of you who have not seen my other question, it's just a website I'm creating). I'm trying to make a navigation section to go to other sections of my website for easy access to those sections, I've started with the sections I have done, and will move on to the other ones when I create them.

What I have tried:

this is my whole code so far

HTML

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>

	<head>

	<title>Deep Ocean Entertainment Canada</title>
	
		<style>
		body{
			font-size:13pt;
		}
		.header{
			color: #ffffff;
			Background-image:url(https://www.azocleantech.com/image.axd?src=%2fimages%2fnews%2fImageForNews_26806_1575299634378640.jpg&ts=20191202101419&ri=1350);
			Text-align: center;
		}
		.about{
			color:#ffffff;
			background-color:#03C9C3;
			padding:15px;
			
		}
		h1{
			color:#000000;
			background-color:#1674CD;
			text-align:center;
			
		}
		h1 span{
			border: 4px dotted #1674CD;
		}
		p{
			font-size:17pt;
		}
		</style>
	</head>
	<body>
		<div class=header>
		<img src="images\DOEC_logo.png" alt="DOEC" />
		<h1>DEEP OCEAN<br /> ENTERTAINMENT CANADA</h1>
		</div>
		<div class=nav>
		<a href=".about">about DOEC</a>
		</div>
		<div class=about>
		<h1><span>about DOEC</span></h1>
<p>#############################################################################################################################################################</p>
		</div>
	</body>

</html>

(paragraph has information I would like to keep to myself)

If you want someone to help you fix a problem, you need to actually tell us what the problem is.

Just saying "I have a problem with my code" and expecting us to guess what that problem is won't work.

An obvious problem is that you have to enclose attribute values between quotes:

HTML

<div class="nav">
   <a href=".about">about DOEC</a>
</div>
<div class="about">

Then, do you really have a file named ".about" at the same level as the current page in your site hierarchy? You should stick to proper naming of files, and avoid using names which begin with a dot, because for several systems this indicates a hidden file (.htaccess on linux, for example). Why not simply naming the file "about.htm" and use

HTML

<a href="about.htm">about DOEC</a>

instead?
