Steps -- Stage 0: HTML Skeleton ​

Follow these steps in order. Each step is either a command to run or a file to create.

Prerequisites ​

A text editor and a web browser. No other tools are needed.

Steps ​

1. Create the project folder ​

bash
mkdir burger-barn
cd burger-barn

This creates and enters your project directory.

2. Create index.html ​

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Burger Barn</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

This is the complete HTML5 skeleton. Every line has a purpose -- you will learn what each one does in the walkthrough.

Verify ​

Open index.html in your browser (double-click the file or drag it into a browser window). You should see:

  • A blank white page
  • "Burger Barn" in the browser tab title
  • No errors in the browser console (right-click, Inspect, Console tab)
