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....

This was at a self learning pace that allowed me to succeed. Colleen van Lent does a great job in the videos where they are short enough to not lose interest, yet enough information to easily learn.

Good introduction to web development. The teacher (Colleen van Lent) has great attitude and seems interested in getting students themselves interested... she explained the intro topics very clearly.

The course was really good , however I was expecting more final projects for practice. Also, for practice, there should have been some links where we can find sample pages to create.

Good course. Covers a lot of ground. Only recommendation, is to slow down a little bit in the middle to explain concepts more and let user get more practice. Otherwise very thorough!

I like the course because I have a lot of things from activities such as how to put an opening and closing tag. Although, it needs more challenging activities.

But I like the course.

I wanted to get an understanding of the fundamentals of html and this was a great course. It doesn't babysit you so you have to get interactive with the coding to actually learn it.

It is kind of confusing but not bad! I am more confused on how this works like it says enroll on the separate courses? I really hope I don't have to pay for each of those seprately

This course is very useful for the beginners. They can learn the basics of web designing and hot publish your website. But some tags and attributes should be added in the course.

Little confusing at times, and the last test/ project was jacked up. Turning in the project did not help and the test was definitely created to confuse. But i guess it was needed

This was one of the wonderful tutorial where everything was explained in clear and conceptual manner. If hands on coding can be included then it would have been very effective.

It is a great course for a beginner like me. The professor is very good. She taught us very well.

One suggestion from my side is that there should be more practice videos.

Thanks.

I was expecting more coding exercises and the major task was only the demo page which I completed and validated, but somehow I always failed that answer wrong in the final quiz

Muy muy básico pero hay cosas que no sabía y que han sido interesantes. Me ha gustado el enfoque que le da todo el rato a que sea accesible para todo el mundo. Muy interesante.

It gives the basic of the basic of HTML5. I would recommend to either merge this course with other courses that have more about web stuff or to add some JS stuff to the course

This was a great course for beginners and still had things to learn for experienced users. It gives a good foundation, and lots of resources. Easy to follow, and hands on.

Le cours est bien intéressant. Il vient justement apporter des compléments à ce que je connaissais déjà en HTML. J'espère que la suite sera encore plus intéressante. Merci

It was good, but it was too short in my opinion. I think there should be more practical examples of how to use HTML5 - more assignments and exercises (probably optional).

Despite the fact that I like this course, there is one issue with it. Instructors do not develop code in the code editor and instead begin teaching from predefined code.
