Learn to build functional, interactive websites using the latest web standards
Overview
Whether you want to promote your business, host an online CV or explore a personal passion, building a website is a significant, but daunting, progression from blogging. But it's easier to master than you think.
This course is for anybody who wants a step-by-step guide to using the latest web standards – HTML5 and CSS3 – to design websites. It's a practical, no-nonsense guide to the essentials of the systems. Over the weekend you'll learn how to make your website function, and look, the way you want it to. By the end, you'll be able to build a basic framework for a website and have got to grips with all the fundamental elements like headers, paragraphs, links, images, tables and sidebars. You'll also be familiar with style and layout techniques, as well as learning some more advanced navigation effects to give your site a professional look and feel.
You'll leave having built a website, and with plenty of suggestions and directions for further learning. Students should be comfortable using computers, but no specific software knowledge is needed.
