<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="author" content="">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="">
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/respond.js/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Place your content here -->
<!-- SCRIPTS -->
<!-- Example: <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> -->
</body>
</html>
- IE 9 and older are supported by the use of a conditional comment that loads html5shiv and Respond.js for support of new HTML5 elements and media queries (served through jsDelivr and cdnjs.com public CDNs respectively)
- Mobile browsers are instructed to render the layout using
width=device-widthandinitial-scale=1
