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 course was really good and it taught me some of the basic stuff that other beginner tutorials often overlook. One such thing was web hosting. Many HTML tutorials teach us how to make web pages, but not how to host those web pages.

Great Effort! Thank You for teaching us!

I learnt to create a webpage of my own in HTML5.So it was great that I was able to do it on my own and validate and rectify my mistakes. This course is best for beginners to learn from the scratch.

This was a very helpful and informative course. Even if you know html somewhat, there are many more things that you'll learn such as understanding, and so also about what all tools and sites and other things you can use to help you be a smarter web developer in the future.

I really liked this introduction to HTML5, it was accessible, fun and the teacher added very interesting side topics (on accessibility, web history, etc.). If you take this course seriously, you will have strong basis in HTML5 and will be able to create your own web pages.

I got more out of this course than I expected to and it was effective in introducing me into the basics of HTML5. Our instructor, Colleen van Lent did a fantastic job of explaining the content and encouraging the class to study and practice individually and collectively.

Great course. I could really learn a lot from Madam Colleen. The part that I most enjoyed the most was when accessibility was discussed. It just inspires me to develop technology that can be used by all. I wish I can keep undertaking a lot of such courses in the future.

Its an excellent course who want to start learning web design in depth. I already knew few things about the HTML language but this course made me realise the importance of different semantic tags and how to use use them efficiently to make our website more accessible.

It is a very practical and useful course. Colleen van Lent presents it in such a way by using loads of examples that it is very easy to understand and remember. She is right about the fact that you can only learn it by trying and not being afraid of making mistakes.
