Course Overview
A website is three ideas stacked on top of each other, and most beginners never get told what the three are. HTML says what is on the page. CSS says how it looks. JavaScript says what happens when someone touches it. Once you can name which of the three you are working in, the whole thing stops being magic.
This course takes you from having never written a line of code to having a website of your own, on the internet, that you can point someone at. Nothing is skipped and nothing is assumed. Every chapter ends with something on your screen that was not there before.
The course is free. So is the test at the end, and the certificate.
What You’ll Learn
✅ HTML: the structure of a page, and why the right element matters more than the right look.
✅ CSS: colour, type, spacing and layout — including why a page falls apart at phone width and how to stop it.
✅ JavaScript: enough to make a page respond to a click, check a form and change itself without reloading.
✅ Publishing: getting the files off your laptop and onto an address anyone can visit.
✅ Habits: naming things, keeping files tidy, and reading an error instead of fearing it.
The Chapters
1 — What a website actually is. Files, a browser and a server, and which of the three does what. You can explain what happens between typing an address and seeing a page.
2 — Your first page. A text file, a heading, a paragraph, and opening it in a browser. You can create an HTML page from nothing and see it render.
3 — Structure and meaning. Headings, lists, sections, and why <nav> beats a styled <div>. You can mark up a page so its outline makes sense with the styling switched off.
4 — Links, images and paths. Relative and absolute, alt text, folders. You can build a three-page site whose links all work on someone else’s machine.
5 — CSS: making it yours. Selectors, colour, typography, spacing, the box model. You can restyle a page completely without touching its HTML.
6 — Layout. Flexbox for rows, grid for pages. You can build a header, a content column and a footer that hold their shape.
7 — Every screen size. The viewport tag, relative units, media queries, mobile first. You can hand your page to someone on a phone without apologising for it.
8 — Forms. Inputs, labels, required fields, and what actually happens on submit. You can build a contact form that is usable with a keyboard and a screen reader.
9 — JavaScript: the page reacts. Variables, functions, finding an element, listening for a click, changing what is on screen. You can add a working menu toggle and a form check that runs without a reload.
10 — Put it online. Hosting, a domain, uploading, and what to check once it is live. You have a URL you can send to someone.
