🎉 Your page exists! Header (logo, menu) → content (the heart) → footer (info, links). Almost every page on the web follows this layout. A site = one or more of these pages, displayed by the browser.
What this teaches you

🧱 Header / content / footer

The header welcomes (logo, menu), the content carries the message, the footer gathers contacts and useful links.

🖥️ Displayed by the browser

Chrome, Safari, Firefox read the page's code and draw it. A site is these pages linked together.
