Whether you want to promote your business, host an online CV or explore a personal passion, building a website is a significant progression from blogging. But it’s easier to master than you might think. This step-by-step course shows you how to use the latest web standards – HTML5 and CSS3 – to design websites from scratch, or modify existing website builders such as WordPress.
During the course, you’ll learn how to make your website look and function 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 leave having built a website, and you’ll also be familiar with style and layout techniques, as well as advanced navigation effects to give your site a professional look and feel.
