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.

Got over my fear of reading through HTML code! Some of the Colleen's videos are challenging to follow, make sure you go through the reading material as well. Good luck!

A very well structured course, introducing HTML.

What could be better, would be to provide more input on the new features of HTML5 compared to the previous versions.

I feel like I learned a lot and the teacher was great. Unfortunately, there are some misleading typos in the quizzes and tests/graders that are pretty frustrating.

Highly recommend to someone who is a zero background beginner like me. I just wish there were more subtitle choices. Other than that, this 3-week course is great!

A good start if you know absolutely nothing about HTML. If you are perfectly comfortable with basic HTML tags then this is not the course you need. Onward to CSS.

This course covers almost every important topic. But I think it should also include some practice questions for few important tags. Thank you for this course!

Pretty nice course with strong focus on accessibility and correct semantics of HTML5 code. Found it useful but a little bit limited in terms of real practice.

Good introduction to HTML 5, I like the way it explains about disabilities.

But the final test, was just a battle to pass the parser more than the code itself.

The course content was presented at steady pace and the videos were clear and direct.

However, the auto-grader was really confusing for the final project.

The glitches with the autograder at the end were the only reason I didn't give this five stars. Otherwise, great course! Looking forward to joining CSS3.
