Every HTML page starts with a short line that tells the browser what kind of document it is.

That line is the doctype, and you write it as <!doctype html>.

It always goes at the very top, before anything else on the page.

After the doctype comes the <html> tag, which wraps the whole page.

Everything else goes between the opening <html> and the closing </html>.

Think of it as the box that holds your entire page.

Inside <html> there are two main parts, and the first one is <head>.

The <head> holds information about the page, and the browser does not show it as page content.

It sits at the top, before the part visitors actually see.

The <title> tag goes inside <head> and gives your page its name.

That name appears in the browser tab, not on the page itself.

Pick a short title that describes what the page is about.

The second main part of the page is <body>, and it holds everything visitors see.

Any text you want to show on the page goes inside <body>.

While <head> works behind the scenes, <body> is the page itself.

Put the pieces together and you get the page skeleton that almost every HTML page starts from.

The doctype comes first, then <html> wraps a <head> with a <title> and a <body> for the content.

Start every new page from this structure, and fill in the <body> as you go.
