Semantic HTML: The Language of AI

Author: Yılmaz Saraçsemantic-htmlhtml5articlesectionmain

Semantic HTML is the foundation of every Creatys AI-First project. It uses meaningful HTML5 tags that communicate the structure and meaning of your content to AI systems.

Why

is not enough:
Generic containers like
and have no semantic meaning. AI systems cannot recognize whether a
is navigation, main content, or footer.

Creatys Semantic HTML Standards:

Tag Usage AI Interpretation
Standalone content "This is a complete post"
Thematic grouping "This content belongs together"
Navigation "These are navigation links"
Header area "Introductory context"
Main content "Core content of the page"
Supplementary content "Additional, related information"
Footer area "Concluding information"

Hierarchical Headings:
H1 → H2 → H3 must form a logical hierarchy. No H3 without H2. The heading structure is a table of contents for AI.

Creatys Rule: Every page has exactly one

, one

, and a clear semantic structure.
