## The idea behind the example

For every page you can inject elements into the page head. This way you can add stylesheets, JS scripts, meta tags, a custom title or whatever you think is convenient to add inside the `<head>` of your page.

This example shows in `pages/index.js` how to add a title and a couple of meta tags.
