What’s Involved?

We’ll learn the ‘front-end’ code that runs websites.

This code is called HTML and CSS.

CSS tells your browser where exactly these elements should go and what kind of styling they have (e.g. fonts, colours, and spacing).

Benefits of Web Design – Opportunities

Overcome Fear & Keep Going

Coding can make you doubt your ability, making you feel like you’re not smart enough. But even the best programmers don’t always understand new ideas the first time around.

Learning to overcome fear of failure is a major asset not just in coding, or your other subjects, but in life too. He who dares, wins!
