In this course, students with a comprehensive understanding of HTML will take the next step with coding. You'll learn to design a website using cascading style sheets, or CSS, and HTML5.

We’ll review column-based layout, colors, and fonts. We'll also discuss how to create clean HTML files and how to use semantic markup. We'll also show you how to use Photoshop to design pages and experiment with advanced CSS styles.

Embed images, video, and other multimedia elements including Google Maps on your pages
Work with CSS3 design options like rounded borders, box shadows, and gradients
