Building a web site today can be accomplished in many different ways. For example there are a plethora of web development tools available on the market, many using a user friendly WYSIWYG interface.
 
These tools are all very well for very small sites; but they begin to fall down when you want to get away from the simple and start to develop the site in the direction you want it to go, rather than being stuck with your tool's template. At that point a knowledge of HTML and related technologies becomes essential. 
 
This course aims to introduce the audience to all the basic elements of HTML needed to build a fully functioning web site. By the end of the course the attendees will:
 
  • Understand the structure of a web site
  • Understand the principles of good site design
  • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of differing site design tools
  • Understand how to construct well formed and valid XHTML
  • Have experience writing web pages using all the typographical mark-up elements. This includes (but is not limited to):
    • Headings
    • Paragraphs of text
    • Bulleted lists
    • Numbered Lists
    • Graphics and image maps
    • Use of fonts and special characters
  • Have experience in linking pages and building navigation
  • Have experience constructing tables of data, correct use of headings, row and column groups
  • Have experience using basic style sheets to alter the appearance of elements
  • Have experience in how to construct a form for data entry
By the end of the course attendees will have completed an online project that they are free to take away and build on.
 
No previous experience with web site design is required to attend this course however candidates should be familiar with web browsing and general keyboard skills.
 
The course lasts 5 days and places are limited to ensure attendees have sufficient opportunity to complete practical work.
