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....

Exceptional course, taught by a friendly, talented teacher. Perfect introduction to HTML. While the course seems to be still under development (there is the odd typo or the like) it's a great start.

Perfect for someone who wants to start learning HTML5 and the entire specialization from scratch.The course is well paced, starts off easy, and seriously takes you step by step into making a web-page.

Somewhat basic, and lacking more directed exercises. Otherwise a pretty decent introduction to HTML5 and its most used tags.

You will get some knowledge about cPanel and SFTP.

But this doesn't include forms

it was more of a theoretical course rather than practical. But still it's good for beginners. Will recommend this course.

If I didn't already study some HTML it would be kind of hard to complete this course and understand all the aspects of it

Overall a good course for someone with little to no HTML experiences. The quiz questions can use quite a bit improvement.

Covers all basic concept of HTML. More contents such as form and other details have to be updated. Teaching is very good.

The course is good for beginners. The HTML portion is great but it doesn't provide you with in-depth knowledge of CSS.

a great way to learn new skills...a flavour of trainers and students interaction was a missing spice from the course.

I really liked this course however I would rather to have more help in the FTP or Cpanel part and more coding aswell.

Intended for beginners, I think people who have never programmed or written any web pages before get a good overview.
