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....

The instructor is very good. The course could use a litle more practical assignments, but the concepts explained are still very good and useful, even if the course is mostly theoretical.

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.

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

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

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
