How to make a very simple web page with just a dynamic image—nothing else.

Hi there,

I haven't designed a web site using Dreamweaver for at least ten years. What I want to do is so simple, but I can't find a template for it. I just want to build a web site with a JPEG in the background that will look proportional on mobile devices and desktops. No text, no links—nothing except the image. Can anyone point me to a simple template that will accomplish that? Thank you!

No content means it's invisible to search engines, screen readers and language translators.  Apart from the obvious accessibility problems,  a lack of real HTML content = no traffic to your website except what you pay for in keyword ads. 

Copy & paste this code into a new, blank document in Code View.

You don't need a template. What you need is to explain exactly how you want the image to render: contained, or completely covering the viewport. Finally, you need to provide the exact dimensions of the image. In fact, if you post the image, someone can do a quick example page for you.

How can you give the person a solution without knowing more details? This is not a good answer, Nancy. It's a guess. Patience 🙂

Based on what we know (which I admit  isn't much), my reply answers the immediate question of how to create a responsive background image.

Meanwhile we wait for the OP to come back with more info....
