HTML boilerplate

Generate a clean HTML5 starter template: pick your meta tags, CSS framework, and options, then copy production-ready code.

A proper starting point

Every project begins with the same dozen lines: doctype, charset, viewport, title, and description. The generator assembles them correctly every time, with your language, title, and description filled in.

Options add a CSS framework via CDN, dark-mode-ready base styles, a semantic main landmark, and a deferred script tag, so the template matches how you actually build.

Copy or download

The output is plain, dependency-free HTML5 that validates and works everywhere. Copy it to the clipboard or download it directly as index.html to start a project in seconds.

Framework choices use official CDN builds, so what you prototype is what you ship.

HTML Boilerplate FAQs

Why include the viewport meta tag?
Without it, mobile browsers render the page at desktop width and shrink it. It is essential for any responsive site.
What does color-scheme: light dark do?
It tells the browser your page supports both modes, so form controls and scrollbars adapt to the user's system theme.
Is Tailwind CDN okay for production?
It is fine for prototypes and small sites. Large production apps usually switch to the Tailwind build step for smaller CSS.
Do I need the defer attribute?
For scripts that touch the DOM, yes. Defer downloads in parallel and runs after parsing, so the page renders first.
Can I use this commercially?
Yes. The generated code is yours with no license restrictions or attribution required.
