I have a basic question about SEO and HTML design. Most homepage of websites use the code below:
<html>
<head>
<title>Website name</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Website name</h1>
...some Slidebar That shows items list and artciles list...
</body>
</html>
But for an internal page (like for an article), the code must be the following?
<html>
<head>
<title>Website name or Article page?</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Article page?</h1>
<p>text of article</p>
</body>
</html>
Which <title> and <h1> I must use? Article title or Website Name?

For all internal pages of your site, you need to use a specific <title> tag to describe the content of the page. If you use the same <title> for more than one page, this is a SEO issue. The <h1> tag can also represent the title of the page, especially for an article (even if this is not really the case anymore with HTML5).
That's why in general, the homepage have the same <title> and <h1>: Website name and an article also have the same <title> and <h1>: Article page. Note this is a good practice to follow.
Moreover, think about Google will most probably use the <title> tag of your page to display the result in its index (see below). Therefore, you need to choose a specific one for each page.
All HTML specifications define the title element as specifying a title for the page.
It’s still OK to include a site name in the title element content, if that content as a whole works as a title for the page.
For example, if a page contains a product catalog of the ACME corporation, then <title>Products of ACME</title> would be OK.
