HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are the building blocks of a website. Incredibly versatile, these coding languages provide the foundation for a website’s text styles, colors, images, and “look and feel,” known as the theme.
Web developers, software engineers, Java developers, and other IT professionals use HTML and CSS as part of their work—and you can too!
In this hands-on guided project, you’ll learn six essential tasks using HTML and CSS to create and style a simple web page.
No previous coding experience is required, and by the end of the project, your experience with the basics of HTML and CSS will have you ready to explore their advanced features.
Your online lab environment has everything you need to get started. Also, note that this platform works best with current versions of modern browsers.

It used to be the case that everyone viewed webpages on about the same size screen. But with the explosion of the use of smartphones to access the Internet, the landscape of design has completely changed. People viewing your site will now expect that it will perform regardless of the platform (smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer). This ability to respond to any platform is called responsive design.

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 a page, what do I do now?).

If you want to take your website to the next level, the ability to incorporate interactivity is a must. But adding some of these types of capabilities requires a stronger programming language than HTML5 or CSS3, and JavaScript can provide just what you need. With just a basic understanding of the language, you can create a page that will react to common events such as page loads, mouse clicks & movements, and even keyboard input.
