About the course

Come and learn about HTML and CSS, the building blocks of the web, with us. We'll start with very simple stuff and work our way up. By the end, you'll have styled your own webpage. The course is hands on so you'll get a chance to have a go yourself, with the support you need to help you if you get stuck.

We'll teach you to read and write some HTML and CSS and you'll have a grasp of some of the slightly less obvious underlying concepts.
