About this course

Why students take this

For teenagers (13-17) who are curious about how websites work. Four weeks taking them from "view source" to building their own personal portfolio site they can show on their CV.

We move at a pace that respects teenagers — fast enough to stay engaging, structured enough to not lose anyone. Project-driven from day one.

Four weeks · one shipped site

  • HTML structure + semantic markup
  • CSS styling + responsive layout
  • Building forms, links, navigation
  • Deploying to Netlify / GitHub Pages for free
  • Final project: their own personal portfolio
