With our new free \u2018Introduction to web development<\/a>\u2019 path, young people are able to learn HTML and create their own webpages on topics that matter to them. The path is made up of six projects that show children and teenagers how to structure pages using HTML, and style them using CSS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With all the website tools available today, why learn HTML?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Webpage creation has come a long way since the 1990s, but HTML is still the markup language that is used to display almost every page on the World Wide Web. By knowing how it works, you can deepen your understanding of the technology you use every day.<\/p>\n

If you want to build your own website today, there are many tools to get you quickly up and running. These tools often involve dragging and dropping predefined elements and choosing from a wide collection of themed looks. Learning HTML and CSS skills is important for web designers, developers, and content creators who want to build unique webpage designs that make their content stand out.<\/p>\n

The path helps young people express themselves through their own webpages <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With our new \u2018Introduction to web development<\/a>\u2019 path, we want creators (the young people who use our projects) to be able to quickly make fantastic-looking websites that follow modern best practices, while they also learn how HTML and CSS work together to create a webpage. Creators write their own HTML to develop the content and structure of their webpages. And they customise our pre-built CSS style sheets to get their webpages to look like they imagine.<\/p>\n

This really is a fun and unique approach to learning HTML and building a webpage, and we think young people will quickly engage with it. They start by finding out how to structure pages using HTML before applying CSS styles that bring their pages to life. Through the six projects, they build all the skills and independence they need to make webpages that matter to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Accessibility first<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We believe that young people should find out about website accessibility right from the start of their learning journey. That\u2019s why the path for learning HTML<\/a> shows creators how they can make their websites accessible to all their users regardless of the users\u2019 needs or digital devices.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why our new path uses semantic<\/strong> HTML. Older HTML tutorials might show you how to structure a webpage using tags like <div><\/code> and <span><\/code>. In contrast, the meaning and purpose of tags in semantic HTML is very clear. For example:<\/p>\n
