Get an introduction to HTML5 and CSS3 to create a small or personal website. After Applying web standards as you code and mastering the fundamentals of web development and design, you then proceed rapidly with semantic coding, starting from text editor in the browser and ending with a website on the Internet. Class discussions include alternative open source software and best practices for usability and HTML accessibility.
Learn to code web pages by creating a website and prototyping interactive sites using Figma to build a complete site worthy of a portfolio piece. You begin with the research phase, then continue to wireframing, prototyping and development. Industry standard tools applied in this course include Figma, Visual Studio Code and GitHub. You build out a final website throughout the class by using HTML5, CSS files, video integration, CSS3 transitions and animations, transformations, responsive web design, version control of code, browser development tools and site deployment. We make coding doable and digestible for designers.
