The creator of the World Wide Web is Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Here are the steps that led to his creation:

1. In 1980, while working at CERN, the European Physics Research center, he wrote a program for storing information including using random associations. Named "Enquire", this program formed the conceptual basis for the future development of the web.

2. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee envisioned a unifying structure for linking information across different computers, and wrote a proposal for what would eventually become the "World Wide Web."

3. In 1990, he wrote the three fundamental technologies that remain the foundation of today’s web (and which you may have seen appear on parts of your web browser):
- HTML: HyperText Markup Language. The markup (formatting) language for the web.
- URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. A kind of "address" that is unique and used to identify to each resource on the web. It is also commonly called a URL.
- HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Allows for the retrieval of linked resources from across the web.

4. By the end of 1990, the first web page was served on the open internet, and in 1991, people outside of CERN were invited to join this new web community.

5. As the web began to grow, Tim realised that its true potential would only be unleashed if anyone, anywhere could use it without paying a fee or having to ask for permission. So, Tim and others advocated to ensure that CERN would agree to make the underlying code available on a royalty-free basis, forever. This decision was announced in April 1993, and sparked a global wave of creativity, collaboration and innovation never seen before.

6. In 2003, the companies developing new web standards committed to a Royalty Free Policy for their work. In 2014, the year of the web’s 25th anniversary, Tim established the World Wide Web Foundation.

So, Sir Tim Berners-Lee is known as the creator of the World Wide Web.
