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....

Perfect for Beginners. Just take your time, watch the videos again and time if you face any difficulty and most importantly keep practicing.

Good course but not much informative and the video are old. No they are telling the history but they are very least with practical examples.

It was very informative. Doesn't really delve deep into HTML5 and explain every nuances that comes with as it's just an introductory course.

I am loving her. She is the best. As a programmer, I find the front end very frustrating. But because of her, I come to Coursera everyday :)

I think it would be helpful to know at what points we are allowed to resources such as the validator or web search (please state explicitly)
