Constructing a web page has become very easy especially with the advent of programs and websites that allow you to input certain data and then generates the page for you. Despite that though, it is important to know some of the basic tags that are supposed to make up a web page, no matter how simple it may be. Without these tags, bots (the robots that search engines use to spider websites) will not be able to read your web page properly, which can result in your site not getting indexed on the search engines. So let us look at a few of the crucial tags that must be included in the design and construction of web pages.

The following is a list and brief explanation of some of the more common tags that are ordinarily used in web page design:

<html> - This is at the top of the web page to show that HTML coding comes after it.
</html> - This is at the bottom of the web page to show that HTML coding has ended.
<head> - This is after the <html> and shows that all header information starts after it.
</head> - This shows that header information has ended.
<title> - This is put before the name of your web page.
</title> - This is put after the name of your web page.
<body> - This shows where the body of the web page actually begins.
</body> - This shows where the body of the web page actually ends.
<meta name="description" content=""> - This is where you talk briefly about your website. The info goes between the quotation marks after the word ‘content’.
<meta name="keywords" content=""> - This is where you place the keywords that relate to your website. The info goes between the quotation marks after the word ‘content’.
<meta name="language" content=""> - This is where you state the language of your website. The info goes between the quotation marks after the word ‘content’.
<meta name="robots" content=""> - here is where you give the search engine bots permission to spider your website. The info goes between the quotation marks after the word ‘content’.
<meta name="distribution" content=""> - State here is you want the information on your site to be distributed globally, regionally, etc. The info goes between the quotation marks after the word ‘content’.
<table> - Use this to add a table to your website.
</table> - This shows the table ends here.
<H1> and </H1> to <H6> and <H6> - These are header tags that search engines love. Place words between them that are relevant to your website.

A sample use of all the codes above is below:

<html>
<head>
<title>Your title goes here.</title>
<meta name="description" content="This is where you describe the site.">
<meta name="keywords" content="Your keywords go here.">
<meta name="language" content="en-us">
<meta name="robots" content="all,follow,index">
<meta name="distribution" content="global">
</head>
<body>
<H1>Main header tag goes here.</H1>
<table>Place your table here.</table>
</body>
</html>

There are other tags that can be used to enhance your website. A search on the web will show some others that can be used to give certain effects and feels to a web page. You can research the other tag options to see what suits your taste.
