    This was a wonderful course. Laura did a wonderful job of simplifying web design, a field full of its own specialized terms. She was open to every question I asked, knowing that the most important thing in the end was that we were on the same page. She maintained a professional attitude, clear teaching methods, and a caring side befitting of a private lesson. I recommend this course to anyone with even the slightest interest in web design.

    The course was a huge help in getting me up to speed on using HTML and CSS with web site design. I feel confident that I can move forward with working on my own website that will have a very professional look. The time flew by and every second was valuable.

    This was a fantastic class. I'm genuinely surprised with how much we were able to cover. I walked away with a much better understanding of HTML and CSS, along with all the tools I need to continue learning and experimenting on my own. Great experience overall.

Hi, Will the class touch on using HTML on the back end of existing ready-made platforms, such as Wordpress, etc?
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! The class touch on the role of HTML/CSS in Squarespace and Wordpress as a discussion but do not do exercises that take students through the steps. The hand-coding students learn in this course is applicable to a wide range of platforms.
