Making a website is relatively painless, thanks to popular web design programs like WordPress and Dreamweaver. But if you want to go beyond templates and create a website customized for your needs, it’s important to learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Understanding these languages allows you to adjust fonts, colors, and other formatting — maximizing your website’s ability to surprise and delight.

Starting with the basics of how to write HTML and CSS in a text editor, Janine then covers the intermediate skills needed to use a program like Dreamweaver, and finishes with the advanced skills required to edit themes in a program as sophisticated as WordPress.
Whether you’re new to writing HTML, or you just want to beef up your coding skills, Janine’s simple recipes and step-by-step instructions will have you whipping up great code in no time.

janine, I can not express how much you have helped me. I got my first computer at 58 took a year to learn as much as I can. In May I enrolled in a web design course on open collages on line, I have the first Janine's dreamweaver for beginners, but I was getting a little confused with the class,divs,tags and the difference between the internal and external styles sheet, Thank you Janine this class has made it all so clear, and with your explanations why you use what, so so helpful, I will be watching this intro to HTML and CSS again and again. Yes I bought the class even before it aired because I know Janine is the best teacher that I could have she makes it easy and enjoyable to learn. I am 61 this year I don't have time to waste, want to learn all I can and Janine has made my task so much easier Thank You so much Janine Thank You.

This helped me a great deal. Although I am happy with about 85% of what some of the nicer templates offer me, its that last 15% that really drives me nuts. Is it worth thousands of $$$ to get that extra 15% boost? In my case, it just doesn't make financial sense to spend that kind of money on a website, yet there is so much more that I would like to be able to do and could realistically do if only I was able to find a course that didn't try and turn you into a developer. This class answered many of my questions and pointed me in the right direction. Thank you Janine for your insight and for balancing the need for knowledge with the reality that this isn't our primary career track.

I watched the free version of this class while at work, so it was kind of playing in the background.. I just want to say I took a year of classes at a community college, and didn't learn Half of what I did just LISTENING to Janine in a few hours. I am once again excited about the thought that I might actually be able to understand some coding and design a website. Right now I am just a print designer.. I thought I was going to have to go back to school and try to learn some web and application development. I bought a "for dummies" book that she wrote, and my personal advancement and understanding in the last few months have been amazing! Thanks so much! -Amanda
