The following is the basic html tags used throughout the websites we sell. This is certainly not the full extent of what goes into a website but this is the starting point. By familiarizing yourself with these various tags you will find it much easier to “follow the code” and determine what to do to edit various aspects of your site.

To use any of the following HTML tags, simply select the HTML code you’d like and copy and paste it into your web page.
