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....

Great course. I love that there was so much emphasis on semantics and accessibility. The course is way more than just telling you about tags, which most other html courses are like.

This is my first experience with coding and I loved it. Not only hard coding, the instructor also taught about the practical uses: keeping the user at the centre of thought process.

Excellent introduction to HTML5.

I had some slight experience before, so there was a lot of review, but there was also a lot of new material for me.

Thank you, Professor van Lent!

This course covers almost all the basic knowledge of HTML5 and most importantly the thing i like that in this course were the additional sections of "Accessibility and Validation".
