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 is awesome. I never thought I would be able to do this but as I took the advice of the Lecturer (Colleen van Lent) thus be consistent, I think it has paid off. I'm not going to stop until I become a professional Web Developer.

I like that the lecturer of this course tries to point students on self education due to useful links to other resourses. The lecturer explains that every programmer, as every engineer, usually deals with vast quantity of manuals.

Muy buen curso para poder introducirte en HTML 5. Si bien yo tenia experiencia en HTML, se mencionaron muchas cosas que no conocia. La instructora es muy clara, da indicaciones paso a paso y las lecturas recomendadas son claras.

I liked this course and I had no knowledge of HTML before starting. By the end of this course you will be able to create simple page which is great for 3 weeks learning. Make sure you do your homework, and readings are very easy.

Now that I see the product I made from knowledge learned bit by bit so it was never overwhelming, I'm totally sold on the real-world value of this form of personalized education. Thanks for your effort and sacrifices creating it.

Very Optimum for a complete beginner, covering everything from the start.

Recommended for people who wants to know everything about web development before they actually get into the coding part and start making their won websites.

The course was very enriching. I understood new concepts and the ability to think about designing sites accessible to all people even when they have some disability or physical problem remained in my mind. Thanks for everything.

It's a good course to get you started off on your journey to web design and development. Remember this is just a start point, we have to search for many things on our own, good community support from peers learning. All the best

Even though I had a bit of experience with HTML 5, nothing beats the systematic manner that Colleen teaches each topic. She knows what she's doing and as long as you code along, you'll get up and running with HTML 5 in no time.

I really enjoyed learning HTML through this course. It helped build a foundation as well as gave in-depth knowledge of how to write code that has the right semantic and which can be easily understandable by other programmers.
