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....

A lot of the lectures seemed kind of pointless. I ended up learning how to actually write html myself while doing the final project.

The quizzes can be made more conceptual or application oriented, rather than memorization based. Otherwise, the course is excellent.

If you want to learn HTML alone, this is a good course. Although you have to do external research to find out about new tags to use.

I enjoyed the course. The best part for me was learning how to get my webpages up and running using a website hosting service.

More material about tags and their usage should have been introduced in optional reading. The course is pretty good and simple.

Teach very basic knowledge for beginners. For us who has some experience on previous version of html, it's quite easy to learn.

Great intro for the beginner, or for someone who is returning to web site creation after working in a previous version of html.
