## Summary

In static templates that are not for product, department, category or brand the title and description tags - when inserted directly into the template - are ignored by the system.

The title default becomes the name of the highest level folder plus the name of the website.

Example:

Website: `OnlineStore`

Folders:
- `Institutional`
- `Frequently Asked Questions`
           
The `Frequently Asked Questions` page will be titled "Institutional - OnlineStore".

## Simulation

1. Create a first-level or lower folder.
2. Place the tags `<title>` and `<description>` inside the `<head>`

## Workaround

1. Create a [custom control](/en/faq/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-customized-control) with type HTML and insert the tags `<title>` and `<description>`.
2. Insert the custom control into the `<head>` of the static template.
