This one day HTML & CSS training course will give you the confidence to create your own HTML or CSS code for web pages or emails, as well as manage content, assets and 3rd party code or widgets. The course will also give you the skills to look at the source code of any web page or email template, and understand the pieces of the jigsaw.

During the day, we will cover the structure of an HTML document, the core HTML tags, CSS properties, and differences between web pages and HTML emails. We will also introduce HTML5, discuss its importance in future-proofing your digital assets.

We'll give you an overview of JavaScript, what you use it for, what it looks like and why it's so important. And finally we'll also talk about the different browsers and email readers, and how to carry out testing.

The session is taught in a fun and relaxed environment, with lots of interactivity to help you along the way. Get ready to code!

The HTML & CSS for Beginners course will be run by Jonathan Saipe.

Back in the mid 90's, when words like 'browser' and 'web' meant something very different to most people, Jonathan was already a digital pioneer. Having worked at global ad agency, Publicis as Digital Development Director in the 90's, he launched FIFO – a web design agency – in 1999. He formed Emarketeers less than a decade later.

Jonathan brings his wealth of web and email development experience to this HTML & CSS coding course, making it lively, fun and highly interactive!
