🌐 HTML & CSS: Build and Publish Your First Website

Learn web development from scratch. By the end of this course, you'll have a real, live website on the internet — built entirely by you.

📚 About This Course

This course teaches you HTML and CSS — the two core languages of the web — by building a real website step by step. No prior coding experience required. You'll start by understanding what the web is and how browsers work, learn to structure content with HTML, style it beautifully with CSS, and finish by publishing your creation live on the internet for anyone to visit.

Every lesson builds on the last, and by Module 4 you'll be assembling a complete multi-page website using everything you've learned. The final lesson walks you through deploying it to Netlify — for free — so you walk away with a live URL you can share with the world.
