Building Your First Website

Description

Websites are made of a small number of parts that fit together in clear ways. These fourteen PDF lessons begin with how websites work and how to prepare your working environment, then teach HTML for structure and CSS for styling.

You then build layouts with Flexbox and Grid, add interactivity with JavaScript, make pages responsive, and create navigation menus and forms. Later lessons cover images and media, performance, testing and debugging, and finally publishing your site. Exercises, checklists and templates in the PDFs support the build-along approach. After reading, you can create a simple responsive website of your own and put it online.

Who it is for: complete beginners who want to build and publish a first website.
