Webmaster: HTML & CSS for Beginners - Level 3 Course
The Webmaster: HTML & CSS for Beginners - Level 3 Course is designed for students who are interested in starting a career as a Web Designer or who simply want to build their own personal or a company/organisational website.
The course is designed as a thorough introduction to the HTML and CSS web development tools, and shows our students how to build a high-impact landing page with a stunning photo gallery, optimised for the popular search engine search algorithms and responsive to the browser screen size.
