HTML: Unique page content

Each HTML page contains unique content that is found only on that page. This area is marked with a paired <main> tag. This will help devices for people with disabilities and web crawlers understand where the main content on the page is located faster.

Let's take the header we created and add an area with unique content to it:

<header>
  <img src="/logo.png" alt="Logo"> <!-- Site Logo -->
  <div id="menu"> <!-- Menu -->
    <ul>
      <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="/contacts">Contacts</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
</header>

<main>
  <!-- The main content of the page. This can be an article, a description of a service, data, contact information, or a form to order a service -->
</main>

The main element is unique to one page. This reflects its semantic purpose, marking up unique content. When wrapping content in main, it's important not to include non-unique areas:

Sidebar
Site-wide navigation
Site-wide header and footer
Logo

Place text/graphic content in main. It's easy to find such content in online templates - it's not duplicated on other pages.

The main element can have its own navigation areas, headers, sections, and other elements that will be studied in this module.

Instructions

Create a website header. It should consist of 2 elements:

Logo
Navigation section. It should contain a bulleted list with two elements

Add a <main> section. Insert any content you want inside it.

Tips

main is a unique section that is used once per page
In order to easily find an area that should be in main try to mentally remove the areas that are on every page. These are the ones that should not be located in the main element
