Building Your First Website: An Introduction to HTML Training Course
1Summary
Whatever platform, template or website builder you use, the pages that ultimately appear in a visitor's browser are written in HTML - there is no way around it. This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is built for anyone who wants to understand that foundation and gain real experience designing web pages that follow it correctly.
HTML is the markup language behind virtually every web page in existence, giving the browser a complete description of how content - headings, paragraphs, and everything else - should be displayed. Even users who rely on visual tools such as DreamWeaver still benefit from knowing HTML directly, since it remains easy to learn and lets a beginner build a personal website in only a few sessions.
