First Web Page

Your First Web Page

Every HTML document has a fundamental boilerplate or skeleton.

The Boilerplate Structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>: Tells the browser this is an HTML5 document.
<html>: The root element that wraps all content.
<head>: Contains meta-information, the title, and links to CSS. This part is NOT visible on the webpage.
<body>: Contains the visible content of your webpage (headings, paragraphs, images).
