Web Foundation: HTML5 & CSS3 Architecture

Every web developer needs a rock-solid foundation. This comprehensive course teaches modern HTML5 and CSS3β€”the building blocks of every website and web application. Learn semantic HTML that search engines and screen readers love, modern CSS layouts with Flexbox and Grid, responsive design that works on any device, and accessibility practices that include everyone. Master the CSS Box Model, positioning, transitions and animations, custom properties (CSS variables), and modern pseudo-classes and selectors. Understand when to use which HTML tags, how to structure documents for SEO and maintainability, and CSS architecture patterns like BEM and utility-first approaches. You will build pixel-perfect designs from Figma mockups, create complex responsive layouts without frameworks, and ensure your sites work across browsers. Study modern CSS features: container queries, cascade layers, and color functions. Learn debugging techniques with browser DevTools. By the end, you will have the foundation to learn any JavaScript framework and build professional web interfaces. Every React, Vue, or Angular developer started hereβ€”and those who master these fundamentals build better applications.
