HTML is the foundation of every website on the internet, yet most beginners rush past it to get to styling and frameworks. This course changes that. You will learn how HTML governs document structure, content meaning, accessibility, and page organization across the web, and you will build these skills hands-on by creating a personal portfolio website — a real, multi-page site you'll structure from the ground up.
