Description:
Today’s digital marketplace enables companies to use a variety of methods to better connect with their customers, most notably through the use of websites.
A well-designed website provides customers with easily accessible information about the company, details on how to find or contact them, and the ability
to make purchases and place orders. Businesses large and small can benefit from a website that will help drive traffic to their brand and reach more
customers than ever before. The basis of many webpages is the HTML and CSS computer programming languages, which are used to build and style the content
of a webpage. Learning how to use these languages is an important step to creating your own well-designed webpages.
Day 1 is intended as an introduction to HTML and CSS computer programming languages. We will first cover the basics of these languages, then continue to
explore various ways to use these languages to create an effective and well-designed webpage.
Day 2 builds on what was learned in Part 1, providing more knowledge about how to build a website. The course teaches why performance and organization
are important, along with how to position content for a website on any given page.
