CSS & XHTML for Web Development

Description

Harness your web development abilities and take the plunge into the world of CSS and XHTML coding. If you have an interest in how websites are made, and how they function, this course will help you to gain understanding of the bare bones of website development, before going on to learn further coding and computer languages. Work through the process of how the structure of a web page is formed, and learn how to style these pages so that they look professional and refined.
Create Professional Websites, Every Time
It’s amazing, just how much work goes into the creation of a website, when there isn’t a template already done for you. For those who create these templates, building a website can be an arduous task, but one that is incredibly rewarding once the finished result is published. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a versatile scripting language that can give designers and developers the ultimate in flexibility, so that they can create a web page with whatever format and styles they wish to use.
Manageable, Convenient, and Flexible
The course is delivered solely online, so you have plenty of flexibility to complete the syllabus as and when you can. Divided into 10 manageable units, completion should take an average of eight hours, but you may wish to download a free trial of the Adobe Dreamweaver application so that you can practice some examples to hone your skills even further.
Make the change, and morph from an amateur web designer into a professional one, by signing up to this fantastic course which will teach you the fundamentals that you need to succeed.
