About this course

Ever wondered how websites are built? This course demystifies the process by teaching you the two fundamental languages of the web, HTML and CSS, through clear, text-based lessons. You will progress from basic concepts to building complete, styled web pages. Through written explanations and hands-on exercises, you'll learn to structure content semantically with HTML and apply modern styling techniques with CSS, creating layouts that look great on any device. What you'll learn: - Structure web content logically using semantic HTML5 tags. - Apply colors, fonts, and spacing with modern CSS properties. - Build flexible and responsive layouts using Flexbox and CSS Grid. - Understand the fundamentals of web accessibility for inclusive design. - Practice styling interactive elements like navigation menus, buttons, and forms. - Learn to inspect and troubleshoot your code using browser developer tools. - Use CSS variables to create maintainable and themeable styles. The course begins with the essential terminology and syntax of HTML, then moves into the principles of CSS styling, culminating in practical exercises where you'll combine both skills to build your own web page layouts. This course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior experience in programming or web development is required to get started. Start reading today and build your foundation in web development.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.

I guess it's okay if you already know the basics. For someone completely new, the structure might be confusing.
