In this course you'll learn how to create a website from scratch!  Which means not using any tools like Content Management System such as WordPress.

You will learn the real tools to create a website from the ground up.  You'll also have your own little slice of the web to build your site and your end goal will be a website that is all about you.

So where do you start?  Here are the building blocks:

  • HTML:  create the content of your web pages
  • CSS: to style how the web pages look including layout, color and font
  • JavaScript:  add interactivity to your pages by programming the behavior
  • PHP:  even more interactivity including form processing

Start at the beginning and slowly layer them on!
