Program Overview
HTML and CSS are where the web actually starts. Frameworks come and go, but every page on the internet is, underneath, structure written in HTML and appearance written in CSS, and people who skip this layer pay for it later. This 4-month live course takes complete beginners from an empty folder to a multi-page personal website they design, build, test on a phone, and publish to a real URL.
The first two months build the two languages properly: semantic page structure, then selectors, the box model, and typography, so students understand why a page looks the way it does instead of copying snippets and hoping. The second half is where pages become layouts: flexbox and grid, responsive design that survives a phone screen, working forms, and a capstone month spent building and shipping the personal site. Classes are live and small, and every student leaves with a site that is genuinely theirs, structure, design decisions, and all.
What Makes This Program Different
- Structure before decoration: semantic HTML is taught properly in month 1, the habit that separates clean sites from tag soup
- Layout is taught as a system, not a bag of tricks: flexbox and grid each get real time, including when to use which
- Students recreate real designs from screenshots, the same exercise working developers use to train their eye
- Every page built in class is tested on a phone, because most visitors arrive on one
- The capstone is published to a real URL on free hosting, not left on a laptop
- Works for ages 10 to adult: batches are grouped by age so examples and pace fit the room
