The following skeleton code is used as the basic foundation for creating a new HTML web page.
The absolute most basic HTML code required to create a web page is provided here. This is great for basic testing or to get a working page up quickly:
<html> <head> <title>Hello, world!</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello, world!</p> </body></html>
A better basic foundation is provided below:
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1"> <meta name="description" content="Your great description goes here!" /> <title>Hello, world!</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello, world!</p> </body></html>
