Introducing Web Design Foundations
3:10 pm in News by Hwa Young Jung
Web Design Foundations is a four part modular course aimed at anyone who wants to learn about how the Web works from the very basic beginnings and be taken step by step, in a friendly informal style, up to the point where they know how to build a basic modern best practices web site and put it online. 
This includes a bit of theory, but it largely focuses on getting your hands dirty with code (such as HTML and CSS), and learning how it REALLY works.
Based on the Omniversity Crowd Sourced Curriculum Survey, we’ve found an overwhelming number of people who would like to get to grips with the basics of web design. Like previous course at the Omniversity, this is a hands on course, and will take you though from the very basics to advanced topics.
Taking into account learning times preference gleaned from the survey, we are offering these courses on Monday evenings, with the exception of the Advanced HTML , which is a Monday afternoon to evening class.
You can join in at the level you think you need. We are running
- Web Design Foundations 1 : Introduction to the Web, and web design
- Web Design Foundations 2 : HTML Basics
- Web Design Foundations 3 : CSS Basics
- Web Design Foundations 4 : Advanced HTML & CSS Topics
This course is taught by Chris Mills, an open standards evangelist and tech writer in the Developer Relations team at Opera Software. When’s he’s not touring with his band, you can catch him at the Standards>Next events at the MadLab. (The next one is on the 23rd March)

Hey guys – I’m really keen on this but have to go to London on Monday with work. Will you be running this course again?
Thanks
Hi Jonny,
Yes we are planning to run this again, but it will be later on, after the modular runs it’s course. Hope you can make it next time!
Great to hear you’re doing it again. Any idea of dates yet?
Hi Francois,
No set dates yet (there is still the Advanced HTML & CSS course to run) but it will probably be sometime in the autumn. We’ll keep you updated!
is there a way you can provide the courses in form of a webinar…. or can someone join in online
Hi Izzy,
At the moment, we are trying to focus on person lead courses. If we get more interest, we’ll explore a tele-class.
Just so you know folks- we’re running the course again!
Take a look at the first module here:
