HTML Page Structure Explained (Beginner Friendly)

In the previous lesson, we learned what HTML is. Now let’s understand how an HTML page is structured. Every webpage follows a basic structure made of important HTML tags.

HTML structure = Skeleton of a webpage.

Basic HTML Page Structure

Here is the simplest form of a complete HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My First Webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello World!</h1>
  <p>Welcome to my webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>

Let’s understand each part

1. <!DOCTYPE html>

This tells the browser that the document is an HTML5 webpage. It is always written at the top.

2. <html> ... </html>

This is the root tag. Everything inside the webpage is written between these tags.

3. <head> ... </head>

The head section contains information about the webpage such as:

  • Page title
  • SEO meta tags
  • CSS files
  • Scripts
Example: 
<head>
  <title>My Website</title>
</head>

4. <title> ... </title>

This sets the page title that appears on the browser tab.

5. <body> ... </body>

The body is where all visible content goes, such as:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Buttons
  • Links
  • Videos
  • Forms
Example: 
<body>
  <h1>My Webpage</h1>
  <p>This is my first website!</p>
</body>

Complete Example with Explanation

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Simple HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome!</h1>
  <p>This page shows the structure of HTML.</p>
</body>
</html>

Where to write HTML code?

You can practice HTML in:

  • VS Code (recommended)
  • Notepad
  • Mobile apps like Acode or WebCode
  • Online editors like CodePen or JSFiddle

Summary

  • <!DOCTYPE html> – defines HTML5 document
  • <html> – main container
  • <head> – browser information
  • <title> – page name in browser tab
  • <body> – visible content

In the next lesson, we will learn HTML headings and paragraphs with examples.
