[01] Why should you learn HTML and CSS in the first place?
Building websites allows you to do fun and creative work, from anywhere in the world, and it even pays well. Web development is one of the most future-proof and highest-paying industries in the world. And HTML and CSS is the entry point to this world!
But you already know all this, that's why you want to learn HTML and CSS too. Well, you came to the right place!
This is the best and most complete course for starting your web development journey that you will find on Start web development It's an all-in-one package that takes you from knowing nothing about HTML and CSS, to building beautiful websites using tools and technologies that professional web developers use every single day.
[02] Why is this course so unique and popular?
Reason #1: The course is completely project-based
Simple demos are boring, and therefore you're gonna learn everything by building actual projects! In the final project, together we hand-code a beautiful and responsive landing page for a fictional company that I made up just for the course.
Reason #2: You will not just learn how to code
Coding is great, but it's not everything! That's why we will go through the entire 7-step process of building and launching our website project.
So the huge project will teach you real-world skills to build real-world HTML and CSS websites: how to plan projects and page layouts, how to implement designs using HTML and CSS techniques, how to write clean and organized code, how to optimize websites for good speed performance, and many more.
On top of that, this course has a huge focus on beautiful design. In fact, this is the only course on the market that focuses on both coding and designing, together.
Reason #3: I'm the right teacher for you
With the right guidance and a well-structured curriculum, building websites can be quite easy and fun to learn. With a bunch of random tutorials and YouTube videos? Not so much. And that's where I come in.

Using that feedback, I recently rebuilt this course from scratch and designed the ideal course curriculum for every type of student. It's a unique blend of projects, deep explanations, theory lectures, and challenges. I'm sure you're gonna love it!
[03] Why is this course so long?
Reason #1: I take time to explain every single concept that I teach, so that you actually learn, and not just copy code from the screen (this is a course, not a tutorial)
Reason #2: I go into topics that other HTML and CSS courses shy away from: professional web design, component and layout patterns, some CSS theory, website planning in theory and practice, and developer skills. I believe you need all of this to be successful!
Reason #3: There is a lot of repetition, so that you actually assimilate and practice what you learn. Practice is the single most important ingredient to learning, and therefore I provide plenty of opportunities for you to sharpen your skills
