HTML Structure

Last updated 12 days ago

Example page structure

This is our default and recommended structure when you start a page using the Page Template component or the New Page Template.

body : This is the Body tag with class body.

page : Wrap all content within a div. This practice makes it easier to copy and paste entire pages or sections.
Global Code : Please refer to for details.
css_page : A Webflow Code Embed element that allows you to add custom CSS specific to the page and see changes immediately.
main-nav : Contains nav, the page's main navigation.
main : Wraps the main content of the web page.
... Other parts of the website.
footer : Footer section.

The main wrapper of the page SHOULD NOT include the nav and footer.

A page should always have a Main HTML tag.

Semantic HTML Structure

In terms of HTML, the default page structure looks like this (simplified), which is included in the Page Template component.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Page Template</title>
</head>
<body class="body">
    <div class="page">
        <!-- Component: Global Code -->
        <!-- Code Embed: css_page -->
        <header>
            <div class="main-nav">
                <nav><!-- Main navigation --></nav>
            </div>
        </header>
        <main>
            <section>
                <div class="container">
                    <header class="title-set-layout">
                        <!-- Page title -->
                    </header>
                    <!-- Section content -->
                </div>
            </section>
            <section>
                <div class="container">
                    <!-- Section content -->
                </div>
            </section>
        </main>
        <footer>
            <!-- Footer content -->
        </footer>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
