Web Design with HTML/XHTML: Beginners

Web-editing tools such as Dreamweaver are quite popular among both design novices and professionals. Occasionally, these programs act in ways that are beyond your control. Knowing how to edit HTML will allow you to make essential customizations to your code and to better understand the inner workings of web pages. During this class, you will learn to create your own web pages with color, pictures/graphics, basic Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and hyperlinks to other web pages. Having HTML experience is extremely helpful for implementing the UW Web Accessibility guidelines.
