In the contemporary digital era, acquiring fundamental web development skills has become increasingly essential across diverse educational and professional settings. The Introduction to Basic HTML and CSS course is designed to equip beginners with foundational competencies to create and style web pages confidently. This course is about two fundamental technologies: HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). These are key to providing the core structure and presentation features necessary for contemporary web design (World Wide Web Consortium [W3C], 2024).
HTML serves as the structural backbone of web content, enabling users to organize textual information, embed multimedia elements, and establish navigational links. In contrast, CSS allows developers to control the aesthetic aspects of a web page, including layout, typography, colors, and spacing, thus enhancing the user experience and ensuring visual consistency (Mozilla Developer Network [MDN], 2024). The integration of HTML and CSS supports the creation of accessible, visually appealing, and responsive web pages (Freeman & Robson, 2022).
This course is divided into five modules that build on each other through a combination of theoretical ideas and practical activities. Learners will engage in live demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and project-based tasks that closely mirror real-world web development scenarios. The primary learning outcome is the ability to design and implement a simple multi-page website that reflects an understanding of fundamental web technologies.
Importantly, no previous coding experience is necessary, allowing this course to be accessible to a broad audience. Whether the goal is to establish a personal website, enhance professional portfolios, or form a basis for advanced web development studies, this course provides a comprehensive and supportive introduction. Upon completion, learners will possess the confidence and practical skills necessary to effectively bring their ideas to life on the web.
