Description
Want to learn web design from scratch?
This book introduces you to HTML and CSS as you follow along with the author, step-by-step, to create a fully functional web site. Along the way, you'll learn how to apply web standards to make your site fast loading, easy to maintain, viewable in almost every web browser, and accessible to disabled users.
Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS teaches web development from scratch, without assuming any previous knowledge of HTML, CSS or web development techniques. This book introduces you to HTML and CSS as you follow along with the author, step-by-step, to build a fully functional web site from the ground up.
However, unlike countless other "learn web design" books, this title concentrates on modern, best-practice techniques from the very beginning, which means you'll get it right the first time. The web sites you'll build will:
Look good on a PC, Mac or Linux computer
Render correctly whether your visitors are using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or Safari
Use web standards so your sites will be fast loading and easy to maintain
Be accessible to disabled users who use screenreaders to browse the Web
By the end of the book, you'll be equipped with enough knowledge to set out on your first projects as a professional web developer, or you can simply use the knowledge you've gained to create attractive, functional, usable and accessible sites for personal use.
