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....

I strongly recommend this course due if you want to start from zero in HTML5 world. Lectures are easy to understand and the teacher is very clear. Besides it is feasible to achieve if you have not previous knowledge about any kind of code.

That course is very very efficient. Because the teacher dont try to teach everything, just give you the keywords and thats good because its not waste your time unnecessary. Keep searching and learn by own whats need to you. Thank Colleen.

Colleen van Lent is a great teacher. Her way of teaching is very understandable and graspable. I had no problem learning how to make a webpage by just using HTML. She also provides great support material which is really easy to understand

This is an excellent course, but it's not easy. I had to study and do the work to get through it. Professor van Lent explains the coding and importance of code validation. Watch the videos and review them when writing required HTML5 code.

Please let me unenroll. I am staying with my mom temporarily who lives in the middle of nowhere and she lost Internet for five days, so I couldn't do the course. I want to move into my apartment soon where Internet will be more reliable.

This is a really good introduction class. I learned enough to get started, where to find other resources, and the assignments are manageable and meaningful. This course provides guidance to get started and the resources to keep learning.

The course was a very good introduction to web programming. While I have dabbled with html in the past, I didn't know anything about semantics, which this course emphasizes. Great course. I'll be starting the CSS course soon. Thanks!

I did enjoy this course and I get excited every time I click on the new lesson. I am not an I.T professional and my only goal is how to design web that is accessible but I went through far from my goal! Thank you for this opportunity!

This was a worthwhile course. The examples really helped to clarify concepts and offered a springboard to explore and experiment with variations. While I had some previous coding experience, this introductory course was very helpful.

(sorry my english) Maybe it would be cool to have more excercises on each video. I don't mean quizzes, i refer to more HTML5 practicse exercises like the final proyect. Well, that was just a suggest... the rest of the course is 5/5.

Course is very informative, I like idea that the course explains very well the small detail like for example where html comes from, how it works from typing url what happens next. it really gives me the idea of how it really works.
