    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8"> # Page encoding
   <meta name="viewport" content=" "> # Mobile optimization
    <title>Furniture store</title> # Page Title
    <meta name="description" content="Buy home furniture" /> # Page description
</head>

<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, nofollow"> # The googlebot meta tag is for Google
