This week, you will build on your HTML skills by creating a multi-page website with working hyperlinks, learning how these links form the backbone of the web. You’ll explore the concept of hypertext and why it matters, then move on to identifying common elements found in real-world websites. From there, you’ll learn what makes HTML well-formed, valid, and semantic, and why these qualities are essential for accessibility, maintainability, and ethical web design. Through guided labs, you’ll add semantic elements to your pages and validate your code to ensure it meets standards. Alongside the practical work, you’ll reflect on the relevance of hypertext today and consider why good markup is important for both users and developers. By the end of the week, you’ll have a structured, standards-compliant website and a deeper understanding of the principles that underpin modern web development.

This week you will explore the Document Object Model (DOM), which represents the structure of a web page as a tree of elements. You will learn how HTML forms this tree and how multiple pages together create the “forest” of the web. Through videos and guided activities, you will use visualisation tools to examine DOM structures and understand how elements relate to one another. You will also practise interacting with the DOM using browser developer tools, gaining hands-on experience in inspecting and modifying page content dynamically. By the end, you will be able to interpret DOM trees, connect them to the underlying HTML, and apply these skills to analyse and manipulate real-world websites.

This week focuses on advanced HTML features that make websites richer and more accessible. You’ll learn how to create forms for user input, build tables for structured data, and embed media such as audio, video, and iframes. You’ll also explore metadata for SEO and usability, and add semantic elements like <figure> and ARIA attributes. Through guided labs and practice quizzes, you’ll apply these techniques to enhance your site and understand why they matter for professional, standards-compliant web design.
