Web Design for Beginners: Build Websites in HTML & CSS introduces you to the world of simple website creation through clear concepts and beginner-friendly steps. This course helps you learn how websites work, how pages display content, and how structure and styling come together to create pages people enjoy using. You start from the basics so that you feel confident as you progress. Each section guides you through topics that help you build skills at a steady pace. The course begins with an introduction that sets expectations in place and shows how HTML and CSS support modern web pages. As you move forward, you learn basic information and installation steps so that you can start creating pages without delays. Every topic builds smoothly on the last, which helps you connect ideas as you move through the modules. HTML and CSS remain the foundation of all websites, and this course helps you work with them from your first line of code to your final layout. The course shows how simple tags, styling rules, and layout patterns come together. Therefore, learners grow step by step through short, easy lessons that make website creation more enjoyable. Transition words guide your learning path section by section, making your progress feel smoother.

As your skills grow, you move into topics that help you create more structure and shape in your pages. You explore HTML basics, CSS basics, syntax rules, colour settings, borders, spacing, backgrounds, text, fonts, and display types. Because the course remains clear and steady, every learner keeps up easily. In addition, the course includes sections on tables, forms, lists, floating elements, positioning, pseudo-classes, z-index, and overflow. As a result, you develop the confidence to create cleaner layouts. While the steps stay beginner friendly, the gradual progress supports a strong outcome. Each lesson encourages quick practice, and this helps you remember what you learn. The later sections help you polish your layout and also manage spacing, alignment, and text display more effectively. You continue improving your pages with colours, backgrounds, outlines, and improved styling choices. Step by step, the course shows you how simple rules shape a complete website. Each lecture moves you forward with clear guidance and easy examples. Moreover, you finish with an outro and updated lectures that keep your learning current. Although the course uses simple teaching methods, it still helps you build strong confidence while creating full webpages with HTML and CSS. Because the internet continues to grow worldwide, these beginner skills remain valuable for personal projects, small business pages, or digital work. The course also supports accessible learning through online study so you can learn anytime. Above all, you finish this course ready to build and style your own pages with steady control and smooth flow.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
