Intro to Front-end Web Development Course in NYC

In this web development class, you’ll learn how to develop websites with HTML and CSS.

Learn best practices for structuring the content of your webpages with HTML, and then styling the content with CSS.

Using HTML, you’ll create webpages with text, images, lists, videos, and more. With CSS, you’ll style the content and make the page responsive, so it adapts to various screen sizes. By the end of the course, you'll learn how to deploy your sites via FTP.
