No coding experience is necessary, and I will do my best to explain everything we do along the way. Although if you have used HTML & CSS Before, you can hopefully sharpen your skills and learn some new tricks.

During this course you will learn all the basics of HTML & CSS, along with some more intermediate topics such as animations, media queries, responsive design, hover effects, Flexbox & Grid, how to include a parallax effect and so much more.

We finish things off by uploading your project to the web for the rest of the world to see!

Looking forward to seeing you in the class!
