Course Overview

This 6-hour hands-on course is designed for absolute beginners who want to build and publish professional-looking websites without feeling overwhelmed. You will learn two complementary approaches: writing your own HTML and CSS from scratch, and using Wix's drag-and-drop editor. By the end of the course, you will have built and published two complete websites, specifically a hand-coded static portfolio and a multi-page Wix business site. This will give you the confidence to choose the right tool for any future project.

No prior coding or design experience is required. The course focuses purely on static websites, covering essential HTML tags, CSS styling (including Flexbox for layouts), free publishing options like Netlify and GitHub Pages, and practical Wix skills such as mobile optimisation, adding custom CSS, and embedding HTML widgets. You will leave with live, shareable websites and a clear understanding of when to write code and when to use a visual builder.


Requirements

No previous experience in Web design, HTML, or CSS is required. You should have basic experience in using computers and web browsers. This includes:
