HTML Email Course

HTML & Web Principles | Course Overview

Course Description

HTML is the foundation upon which web pages are constructed. Even if you plan to use a web authoring tool such as Dreamweaver or WordPress or a CMS (Content Management System) that generates the HTML code automatically, having a solid understanding of HTML makes learning those systems much easier and ensures that you can work with the HTML code directly to fix any problems that may arise. Similarly, to create HTML emails or to optimise your web pages for search engines, a solid understanding of HTML is beneficial to work effectively.
