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 for beginners. Especially useful if one wants to see how a website is correctly designed with accessibility in mind. I would recommend this one to many of the "old" web designers out there.

Perfect for someone who wants to start learning HTML5 and the entire specialization from scratch.

The course is well paced, starts off easy, and seriously takes you step by step into making a web-page.

First course out of 5, so far so good! Definitely basic understanding of HTML but I was still able to learn a few new tricks I did not already know going into this.

Excited to see what's next in CSS!

Short and sweet !!!

I enjoyed learning the importance of semantics, as I am generally used to style the pages using free will.

The agenda which the instructor has is very optimistic and I like it ~~~

It is a well structured course. The best thing is the style of teaching. Instead of spoon feeding all the tags we were encouraged to find and learn about different tags. Overall a good experience.
