I guess they mean <header> <main> <footer>. These are the tags to commonly structure a pages content visible to the user (unlike for example everything that is written in the <head>-tag).

Cleo Pelte nailed it! The <body> of our website usually gets broken into three sections or segments:

  • <header> - where we find the introductory and navigation components
  • <main> - where we find the main written or visual content for the page
  • <footer> - where we find bottom links, navigation, and important business information

Not all pages use this strict sectioning, but it gives us a good way to think about best practices in web design. This can even be referred to as a design pattern, as it represents a commonly held method or approach to structuring website information.
