Site Structure

The structure of a website is typically defined using a combination of semantic tags and structural elements. Here’s an overview of the most common elements used to structure a website:

<html> tag: This tag defines the start of an HTML document and contains all other elements.

<head> tag: This tag contains information about the document, such as the title, links to stylesheets, and metadata.

<body> tag: This tag contains the visible content of the document, including text, images, and other media.

<header> tag: This tag is used to define the top section of a webpage, typically containing a logo, navigation menu, and other introductory content.

<nav> tag: This tag is used to define a navigation menu, typically placed in the header or sidebar of a webpage.

<main> tag: This tag is used to define the main content area of a webpage, typically containing the bulk of the page’s content.

<section> tag: This tag is used to define a section of content within the main content area, typically containing a heading and other related content.

<article> tag: This tag is used to define a self-contained piece of content, such as a blog post, article, or news story.

<aside> tag: This tag is used to define content that is tangentially related to the main content, such as a sidebar or callout box.

<footer> tag: This tag is used to define the bottom section of a webpage, typically containing copyright information, contact details, and other footer content.

By using these elements to structure a website, you can create a clear and organized hierarchy of content that is easy to navigate and understand. It’s important to use these elements in a consistent and meaningful way, to help users quickly find the information they need and to improve the overall user experience of your website.
