Welcome to your first step into the world of web development! This course is designed for absolute beginners who want to learn how to build beautiful, functional websites using HTML and CSS — the foundational languages of the web.
No prior experience? No problem. We’ll walk you through everything from setting up your first file to styling your first webpage — one step at a time.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
✅ Understand how websites are structured with HTML
✅ Style your pages with CSS to make them visually appealing
✅ Build responsive layouts that work on phones, tablets, and desktops
✅ Use developer tools to debug and improve your code
✅ Publish your own website online (optional final project)
Create your very first webpage! Learn basic HTML elements (<h1>, <p>, <a>, <img>) and apply styles directly using the style attribute.
Learn the proper structure of an HTML document (<head>, <body>, metadata) and move your styles into a separate .css file for better organization.
Dive deep into CSS selectors (classes, IDs), specificity, and the cascade. Understand why some styles override others.
Create a professional header with a navigation menu using semantic HTML (<header>, <nav>, <ul>) and link to different pages.
Use Flexbox to create dynamic layouts and CSS Variables to manage your theme colors and fonts efficiently.
Level up with CSS Grid to create stunning two-dimensional layouts. Add beautiful hover animations to your service cards.
Make your site look perfect on all devices using Media Queries. Build a professional multi-column footer and implement a sticky header.
