Structure

HTML pages follow a basic structure. The main tags you need to know are:

<html>

    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        Page content goes here
    </body>

</html>
  • <html> contains the whole webpage
  • <head> contains information about the webpage
  • <title> sets the text shown on the browser tab
  • <body> contains the content that is visible on the webpage

These tags form the basic structure of an HTML page.
