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....

Very informative course. Although I feel this was just a small step into html, I believe now that I'm capable of diving as much deeper as I can into this subject by using the basis that I learned here.

teacher is good,but i hope you can describe the tags by code,that can make us profound influence.

and we can understand directly.

more examples are better than introduce.thanks a lot for your curriculum

Great course for an overview of what HTML5 is like! I would have preferred it, however, if there still was a kind of instant autograder, like a parser or something. The lecturer is quite good as well!

This was at a self learning pace that allowed me to succeed. Colleen van Lent does a great job in the videos where they are short enough to not lose interest, yet enough information to easily learn.

Its an amazing course . But in week 2, i felt that the lecturer was going fast in some videos , where she can show some example , it was just theory . Other than that , It was good for me.

Thank you

The course is a good starter, but it could do with more material allowing you to practice the skills presented each week rather than the self-driven approach, which could be done without the class.

She was an exceptional teacher throughout but I believe that some tags weren't explained thoroughly like the navigation tag she just told us about it and so I had to search around on how to use it.

The class was very informative and great at teaching the basics of HTML5. If you go the extra mile and read the online textbook or order a physical copy, you can learn a little CSS like I did too.

Great course on foundation and fundamentals. Instructor is very qualified and patient. The videos are a couple of years old and there's the basic disconnect of online learning that isn't live.

Great course! Wonderful teaching by Colleen! However, there is not so much practice within this course, that I expected. Thanks a lot to Colleen for creating this specialization! It's amazing!

It was an amazing course! I learned about the importance of semantics and also about how we can host our webpage for free. The instructor (Collen van Lent) covered everything a good way :) :)

The course is wonderfully structured, and Colleen van Lent is such an engaging teacher!

The only problem is that sometimes there are errors in the test which affects our (students') grade :(

I like the course it was very simple and easy to follow. I only thing I didn't like was the final. When your code was wrong it could at least give you a hint about what needs to be addressed

It's a good course for beginner! A lot of knowledges about hosting, domains etc. But not so much about directly HTML5. I would be better to extend this course for 4 weeks!

Thank you, Colleen!

This course is perfect for learning the very basics of html. The instructor also explains basic concepts beyond the code itself, including how to use editors, validators, and hosting sites.

The instructor is very good. The course could use a litle more practical assignments, but the concepts explained are still very good and useful, even if the course is mostly theoretical.
