Try removing the quotes from the outside of your <h1> tags. I haven’t done Sinatra in a long time so I’m not real familiar with the syntax.

Ruby interprets "<h1> "Welcome!" </h1>" as two strings, "<h1> " and " </h1>", surrounding a reference to a nonexistent constant named Welcome and a ! operator.

Did you mean "<h1> \"Welcome!\" </h1>"?
