About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

Within three weeks, after having never touched code before, I was able to complete the assignment, and start my own project. HTTML% is a huge subject, but this course gave me the basics to get started - thanks Colleen

This was a really great class and I got a lot out of it. Professor van Lent explained concepts very well and in layman's terms so beginners like me could understand. I'm looking forward to the next class, Intro to CSS3!

I loved this course. It really eased me into the material and encouraged me to try out the tags. I'll definitely be back to refer to some of this material and maybe also to take the course for real instead of auditing.

Amazing course. I knew nothing of coding before taking and now I feel confident to experiment on my own and learn much more. This paired with CSS and Java script gives you a huge foundation to start making a portfolio.

Colleen gave a well-paced and accessible intro to HTML. Course covers HTML5 and accessibility needs. More assignments and quizzes would have been helpful, but that's nothing you can't find on the web (free code camp).

Very well explained. I took this course with a little previous knowledge about HTML and after taking the course, I realise that there are so many aspects that need to be considered when you think of making a webpage!

Excellent course, great opportunity for people who want to be a web-design. In this course you learn the basics of html5 with the difference of knowing rules about the accessibility of the sites. I liked very much!!

Course is simply awesome, There are places where you can learn the skill i would not name them here, but that is for sure the quality of systematic approach in the course is way ahead of any other places available.

This is a very good course for beginners. The presentation is well done, and it gets you set up to start coding html even if you know absolutely nothing beforehand. Following along is easy and examples are helpful.
