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 found it very difficult to learn coding , the instructor made sure we had the grip of the basics before diving into actual work which is completely amazing , hope to learn more from this specialization course !!

Colleen understands the struggles most of the students will have and addresses them in a effective manner. She explains the material in a way that is enlightening to novice and yet interesting to more experienced.

Excellent course.

I did not have any web development background at all. This course is really helpful and useful for first-time learners and even for those who have some previous relevant experience. Thumbs up :)

The best course I have taken on Coursera so far. Excellent instructor (Colleen van Lent). I really liked the way she taught, and everything she said made sense immediately, which is rare to find in an instructor.

This course is really good for those who are new to web development and HTML. Every basic concept is presented in a very structured and organized manner. Special emphasis is given on semantics of different tags.

The course was very well structured, and I really enjoyed it. It was at a good pace, and with a lot of great resources to refer to. The final project was well designed to test what we learnt during this course.

My only experience with any sort of computer programming was with simple BASIC on my Commodore 64 in the mid 1980's. I understood it, was comfortable with it, and was able to learn. That is really kind of huge.

I took another intro to HTML and although this course deals more in the theory of HTML and how to properly set up your webpage, it is a good course to get a great understanding on how to start your HTML career.

Excellent introduction to web development at its most fundamental level. If you aim to be a high level web dev, this is the critical foundation that will make sure you are writing good, clean, accessible code.

Highly informative with clear examples to further illustrate each point taught in each lesson. It's really helpful to know more about cPanel and web hosting instead of figuring it out (the hard way) by myself.

This course seems pretty basic, but there lies the effectivity. It focuses only on html and that helps you go deeper in the first step instead of flooding your head with tons of content difficult to memorize.

Solid intro to HTML course. However, I feel like learning web design by Jennifer Niederst is a better guiding book for individuals that are interested in UX over the standard text recommended in this course.
