HTML
elements are the basic building blocks of every webpage, so a little
coding skill can yield big gains in effective communication and
efficient website maintenance. With basic HTML skills, you can add links
to your press releases, customize your Facebook page, or update your
library’s website. Even if you work with rich text editors in a content
management system, fundamental web design principles will give you
better results. Once you know the basics, you can deepen your
contribution to the web team with skills in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
and JavaScript .
Diane Kovacs will show you how to design attractive, clear, and accessible webpages and give you the foundation for learning more.
