Build practical CSS skills and transform plain XHTML content into visually engaging, well-formatted web pages. Designed for beginners, aspiring web developers, and students, this course shows you how to separate content from presentation while creating clean, consistent, and standards-compliant designs.

You’ll begin with CSS fundamentals, including purpose, syntax, color systems, and typography. You’ll then apply font families and generic font categories, compare text measurement units, and implement scalable and image-based font techniques. As you progress, you’ll control text alignment, add decorative effects, use font variants and class selectors for reusable formatting, and enhance semantic text with superscripts, subscripts, and small caps. Through practical XHTML examples and exercises, you’ll learn to select appropriate CSS properties, improve text readability, and create accessible, maintainable web typography. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to style XHTML text effectively, apply reusable class-based formatting, and combine typography, color, alignment, and decoration in polished web pages.
