Our Web Design for Beginners course provides a practical introduction to planning, designing, building and publishing modern websites. It is designed for learners who want to understand how websites are created from the ground up using core front-end web technologies. You will begin by learning how to plan the structure of a website, identify your target audience, choose a domain name, and design effective page layouts and navigation. You will then learn how to create web pages using HTML and style them using CSS.
The course also introduces JavaScript for adding simple interactive features to web pages and Bootstrap for building responsive layouts that work across different screen sizes and devices. You will learn how to work with text, images, hyperlinks, lists, sections, colours, fonts, spacing, borders, navigation components and reusable page layouts. Practical exercises will help you apply these skills as you build and improve web pages throughout the course.
The course also covers the practical steps required to publish a website online, including domain names, web hosting and uploading your website to a hosting server. You will also be introduced to the fundamentals of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and how websites can be prepared for search engines.
