HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the building blocks of the web. If you've ever looked at a website, you've seen HTML and CSS in action.

Whether you want to make changes to your website's template, create new webpages from scratch, or just understand what you're doing when you cut-and-paste embed codes from sites like YouTube or SlideShare understanding HTML and CSS makes it possible.

HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?

My goal is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of how HTML and CSS work.

In this course, we'll create a simple "Coming Soon" webpage using valid HTML5 and CSS3 code. As we work together, I'll explain WHY the code we write looks the way it does. I'll point out the simple patterns in the code, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence.

As we build our webpage, we'll cover:

• What tools you need to write HTML and CSS, and how to use them
• How to use HTML to organize and manage the content of your webpage
• How to use CSS to control the presentation or "look" of your webpage
• How web publishing works, and how to get your HTML and CSS files from your computer onto the web
• How to use lots of other helpful and free web building tools, including code validators, free icon libraries, color scheme generators and more

By the end of this course, you'll be able to use HTML and CSS with confidence, following best practices every step of the way.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

This course has over four hours of step-by-step videos, along with supplementary text lectures, links to helpful resources, HTML and CSS code examples, and downloadable project files.

Short quizzes at the end of each section will help you gauge your own understanding and check your progress along the way.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME?

The length of time it takes to complete this course depends on your availability and learning preference. You can power through all the video lectures in one afternoon, or pace yourself over several weeks it's up to you!

CAN I ASK QUESTIONS AND GET HELP?

Yes! You can post your questions and discuss problems with your fellow students in the course dashboard.

I'll also be personally checking in every week to answer questions and provide feedback. I look forward to meeting you!
