5 HTML Tags Your Website Can't Do Without!

Have you ever wondered what makes a good website special, besides its pretty appearance? The answer is: a proper structure built with HTML tags! Just like a house needs a strong foundation, a website needs an organized HTML structure to function well.

So, let's get to the point and get acquainted with 5 of the most important HTML tags that every website needs. These tags are like the building blocks of a website; if they are missing, the building won't stand up properly!

1. The Tag: Declaring the Document's Identity

Believe it or not, the first and most important step in building a website is to declare that we are using HTML. The <!DOCTYPE html> tag does exactly that. This tag tells the browser that this document is an HTML5 document and should be processed according to its rules.

Without this tag, the browser might not display your website correctly and you may encounter many problems. So always remember to place this tag at the beginning of your HTML page. Just like the signature of the creator of a work of art!

2. The and Tags: The Beginning and the End!

We all know that every human has a head and a body. Websites are the same! The <head> tag is like the head of your website. This section contains information about the site, such as the title, descriptions, CSS files, and JavaScript files. This information is not visible to the user, but it is very important for browsers and search engines.

On the other hand, the <body> tag is the main body of your website. Everything the user sees, such as text, images, videos, and buttons, is placed inside this tag. So you can say that <body> is the main showcase of your website!

        
          html
          
        
      <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Your Website Title</title>
    <meta name="description" content="Description of your website">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    <p>This is a simple text.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Tags: Attractive Headlines!

Headlines play a very important role in attracting the audience. Imagine reading a newspaper or magazine without headlines. It gets boring, doesn't it? The <h1> to <h6> tags play exactly this role on your website.

The <h1> tag is used for the most important heading on the page, and the subsequent tags are used for subheadings. Using these tags correctly not only helps with the readability of the site, but is also very important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Search engines use these tags to understand the main topic of the page.

Example:

        
          html
          
        
      <h1>An Article About HTML Tags</h1>
<h2>Introduction</h2>

After the headline, the most important element of any page is the paragraphs. The <p> tag is used to create paragraphs in HTML. Using this tag, you can divide long texts into smaller, more readable sections.

An important point: try not to make your paragraphs too long. Short and concise paragraphs greatly improve the readability of the site.

        
          html
          
        
      <p>This is a simple paragraph. You can put any text inside this tag.</p>
<p>Paragraphs help you organize long texts.</p>

5. The Tag: Magical Links!

Links are one of the most important elements of the web. Using the <a> tag, you can link to other pages on your own website or to other websites. The href attribute in this tag specifies the address of the page that the user will be taken to when they click on the link.

Links play a very important role in SEO and user experience. A good website should have appropriate internal and external links.

Example:

        
          html
          
        
      <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/html/">HTML Tutorial</a>
