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....

I really like the accessibility part of the course, and of course two others parts were also useful and very helpful was the part of validate your page and how to make it shown on the Web. Thank you a a lot.

Really good and introdutory, although i had previous contact with HTML it was also a great way of getting to know better HTML5 and its semantic. Beyond that, the focus on accessibility is an amazing feature.

I thought I know HTML. It's true I knew it, but I couldn't do anything with it. I love the lecture Colleen and her tips and tricks. I felt like a real web developer and it was only HTML. I miss next lesson.

This course really gives the basic foundation of html5 and much more. But you need to continue learning if you want to proficient in html5 as it can't cover all of the topics exist in the real world html5.

A very good introduction to the HTML5 part of web development. Some parts of the course could have gone faster, but all in all I think I gained a very good understanding of the material from Prof van Lent.

I can't doc a star like I wanted to. The good parts of the class were perfect. The bad part was the areas that needed updated/edited and didn't get it. Also, FF does allow for the details tag to work now.

Well done. You get a lot of hands on work in this class. Learning by doing is the best way to really learn how to get past stumbling blocks. The lectures were excellent as well with lots of references.

I have no background of IT, however, these lectures seem to be very interesting to me. I guess I can learn something valuable from this course and perhaps convert that into a commercial/financial success.

This course was great. Instructor gave real time based example regarding semantics and tag. It was really useful to visualize that how HTML file can impact over all quality of page and it accessibility.

The instructors have done a great job of taking into account accessibility rather than teaching more about tags and other stuff that is available on the internet. Overall I'm satisfied with this course.
