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.

I love my lecturer and how she takes time to explain the details of the basics you need to quickly understand the advanced material. Thumb up COURSERA!!

The material should be more comprehensive and cover more material in HTML.

Right now, it isn't enough.

The focus on accessibility is good and refreshing.

Only gave it 4 stars because they miss out a lot of stuff and then just refer you to an outside website to study on your own.

Teachers is great though.

I would suggest encouraging students to work on CS-code. I have been offered an apprentice and everyone I have gone to for help has worked on CScode.

The method of teaching and understanding was lucid and precise. More focus on self-learning was given than that of spoon-feeding. It was awesome

The course is good, the basic material is given. But there is too little information for the final project, I had to look for something myself.

As an introduction course, It gives a very good explanation of concepts. However it's absolutely not enough for ones who want to practice more.

Excelente curso, aunque a criterio propio faltaron más ejemplos. La profesora iba muy rápido. Faltó más detalle. Solo esas observaciones.
