About the Course

Thanks to a growing number of software programs, it seems as if anyone can make a webpage. But what if you actually want to understand how the page was created? There are great textbooks and online resources for learning web design, but most of those resources require some background knowledge. This course is designed to help the novice who wants to gain confidence and knowledge. We will explore the theory (what actually happens when you click on a link on a webpage?), the practical (what do I need to know to make my own page?), and the overlooked (I have the code, but how do I put it on the web to share with others?). Throughout the course there will be a strong emphasis on adhering to syntactic standards for validation and semantic standards to promote wide accessibility for users with disabilities. This course will appeal to a wide variety of people, but specifically those who would like a step-by-step description of the basics. There are no prerequisites for this course and it is assumed that students have no prior programming skills or IT experience. The course will culminate in a small final project that will require the completion of a very simple page with links and images. The focus of this course is on the basics, not appearance. You can see a sample final HTML page at https://example-site-1--wd4ehtml.repl.co/ . This is the first course in the Web Design For Everybody specialization. Subsequent courses focus on the marketable skills of styling the page with CSS3, adding interactivity with JavaScript and enhancing the styling with responsive design....

Exceptional course, taught by a friendly, talented teacher. Perfect introduction to HTML. While the course seems to be still under development (there is the odd typo or the like) it's a great start.

Too little coding and too many talking.

It's better to learn HTML 5 with youtube videos.

The Courses could be more practical oriented rather than theory and theory.

I like the course. It was easy to follow and easy to understand. However, there were some key typos on quizzes and in the final exam that causes users to lose points. For example on one of the peer review questions it asks if the webpage contains an <ol> when clearly the example page had an <ul>. But if you correctly answer the question that it did not contain a <ol> because it wasn't supposed to you are taking points away from the person. Having mistakes like that on quizzes and exams is pretty unprofessional. It's not like the typos were just in slides. So that makes me feel a bit like this course is a thrown together money grab.

Chaos! Pure chaos. This course is not for beginners. It's not well structure, but just jumps from topic to topic, in a totally irrelevant way. And this supposed to be a course for beginners!

I'm taking Python specialization from the same University. It's well structured. You can learn python step by step. Each video contains explanation and a kind of a demo. This course, on the other hand, is like a chaotic collage of youtube videos.

Worst course design and instructor. Learned actually nothing from this course. The instructor talks about irrelevant things and do not show how to use tags and stuffs. She just talk about web accessibility for disable person and validating codes but do not teach at first how will I do that codings. I had to learn this from other course instructor's. She codes herself , validates from websites and we just watch and ruin our time.

Assignments were confusing as the questions were not clear enough in what it was trying to ask. Also the final assignment is annoying, i had to completely ignore the Question 1 in order to pass. As any input in question 1, i was not allowing me to pass. The Grader or pattern has to be changed for final exam. Lectures have to be improved. Whats being taught and the assignments are not related in most cases.

I am not fully satisfied with this course.I had to pause and read the descripton below the screen most of the class to understand what the lecturer was actully saying.It was difficult to understand what she was saying,because of her speed while talking.What i hear may not be what she was saying.So i had to toggle between screen and description everytime and that is very annoying
