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....

Course material was well structured and the instructor provides a lot of really useful additional resources to use. The pace of learning was manageable if you're doing this part time as well.

The materials are easy to understand. Colleen is a great teacher, she knows how to approach the e-student without face to face them. I would definitely continue to the next course of this set.

Much better than I expected. You learn from the basics, and go through simple examples that help you learn things step by step. I was quite skeptical, but I was nicely surprised. Recommended.

The course is very helpful to understand about the basic syntax and semantics of HTML5. Now I am confident that I can practice more and attend a course on CSS3,so that I can host my own site

Very useful course as for me. It teaches HTML5 syntax, explains the accessability principles, also provides additional information about how Internet works, how to post a website, and so on.

A very excellent start to HTML. Aside from the syntax, the instructor brings in brief histories of the evolution of HTML, best practice at designing websites and the topic of accessibility.
