Just need to close with </html>. Doesn't matter if you do </HTML> but it's better to be consistent

Hey Anthony,

The code needs a closing HTML tag as well as the correct title closing tag. Here is code that should work: 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Anthonys Project | Designer</title>
  </head> 
</html>

Let me know how this goes for you!

Cheers :)
