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....

Very easy to follow along and understand. I had virtually NO experience with this and now I can write HTML5 at a basic to intermediate level and create basic web pages.

Well-paced, very clear instructions. The final project was peer reviewed. It was very enlightening to see how my peers approached the same tasks from different angles.

The teacher is great and the class is really easy to digest. I came in with a base knowledge of HTML, but I think it would have been just as understandable without it.

As a beginner this was a great way to get started in the world of coding. Once you get started, you can do extra work and figure out out many more things on your own.

Very good course. The professor not only teaches the basic main concepts as also the best practices, always explaining the "whys" of everything. I strongly recommend!
