Whether you want to make changes to your website's template, create new webpages from scratch, or just understand what you're doing when you cut-and-paste embed codes from sites like YouTube or SlideShare –– understanding HTML and CSS makes it possible.HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?My goal is to help you develop an intuitive understanding of how HTML and CSS work.In this course, we'll create a simple "Coming Soon" webpage using valid HTML5 and CSS3 code. As we work together, I'll explain WHY the code we write looks the way it does. I'll point out the simple patterns in the code, so you can learn more quickly and with more confidence.As we build our webpage, we'll cover:- What tools you need to write HTML and CSS, and how to use them
