Course content
This course introduces students to basic web design using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The course will not only present the main building blocks of web development, but it will also discuss how to create a project from scratch following the standards and implementing good practices to make the pages as readable as possible for both humans (Universal Design and Web Accessibility) and robots (Search Engine Optimisation).
During the course, the students will learn how to use HTML to structure the contents of the site and how CSS is used to tell the browser how contents should look like.

- Creating solutions suitable for different screen sizes (responsive design)
- How to implement small building blocks structured in a way that ease the reusability in different places (modular and maintainable codes)
- Implementing standardised solutions (the code should pass validations tests)
