This course will take you to a professional level in responsive web design. You'll learn to build advanced layouts while solving fun coding challenges along the way.

Let me ask you a few questions: Do you want to learn to build responsive websites that look 100% professional? Do you want to be confident that your website works well on all devices? Are you tired of feeling that your CSS is a mess? If your answer is YES, then this is the perfect course for you! It gives you a deep understanding of CSS and responsive design while keeping you fully engaged along the way. You'll learn to build four different layouts: a blog, a landing page, a banner, and a company website. Each one will take your skills to a new level. To ensure that the knowledge sticks with you, you are given interactive coding challenges as you progress. It's as if you and the instructor are pair-programming together! This kind of fast-paced interactivity simply isn't possible with any other platform than Scrimba!

The learning module dives into CSS fundamentals, providing learners with a solid foundation in CSS syntax, selectors, properties, and layout techniques to effectively style and structure web pages with creativity and precision.
