Learn how websites work and build your own from scratch with HTML and CSS: text, links, images, forms, layout, mobile-friendly design and a finished three-page site.
Every website you have ever visited is built from a few simple ingredients. In this course you will learn the two most important ones: HTML, which gives a page its structure and content, and CSS, which controls how it looks. You will write real code, see the result in your browser straight away, and finish by building a small three-page website for a youth group or small business.
The course starts with how the web works, so nothing feels like magic. Then you build up step by step: text and links, images and tables, colours and fonts, layout with Flexbox and Grid, and finally a design that works on both a phone and a computer.
It is meant for learners who are comfortable with a computer, files and folders, and want to start creating things online. You do not need to have written code before, but you should be patient: coding is a skill that grows with practice.
