FAQs
This course teaches the essential building blocks of web development, giving you the skills to create and format basic web pages with HTML and CSS.
What is HTML?
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language used to create and structure content on the web. It allows you to define elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables and forms. Rather than programming behaviour, HTML organises and labels content so that web browsers know to display it correctly. It’s the foundation of every website and the starting point for anyone learning web development.
What is CSS?
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is the language used to control the appearance of web content created with HTML. It allows you to apply styles, such as colours, fonts, spacing, and layout, to elements on a webpage. With CSS, you can ensure your site looks consistent across pages, adapts to different screen sizes, and delivers a more engaging user experience.
