HTML Intermediate
Course Description

A course to extend beyond basic technical HTML skills and learn techniques, workarounds and good practice in building web page layouts.

HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) is the language used to create web pages. Authoring packages create code automatically and sometimes this leads to mistakes or unexpected results. Without HTML knowledge it is hard to fix troublesome pages or extend pages with features beyond the limitations of the software. This course gives delegates greater understanding of the possibilities of HTML and introduces the benefits of working closer with code.

This course may be run as one or two days depending on topics required.

If the aims or topics you require are not listed in this description, please contact Christina to see if the training can be adapted to include them.

Suitable for delegates who wish to develop their practical and technical skills in building and managing sites, and gaining insight into how web pages work by writing the HTML code themselves.
