Burger Barn

Appearance

Stage 0 -- HTML Skeleton ​

Create the minimal HTML page that everything else builds on.

What You'll Learn ​

  • The HTML5 doctype declaration
  • The html, head, and body elements that every HTML page needs
  • How to set the page title and character encoding

Prerequisites ​

None. This is the starting point.

What Changes ​

A single file is added: index.html. It contains the bare HTML5 skeleton -- doctype, head with metadata, and an empty body.

Outcome ​

Open index.html in your browser. You see a blank page with "Burger Barn" in the browser tab. That blank page is a valid HTML document -- the scaffold everything else builds on.
