Intro to HTML/CSS: Making Webpages
8 hours 4.5(32,100 reviews)Free
Khan Academy's Intro to HTML/CSS teaches you to write HTML and CSS from scratch, building webpages as you go. The course covers HTML structure (headings, paragraphs, lists, links), CSS styling (colors, fonts, layouts), and basic responsive design. All lessons are video-based, and you write code in Khan Academy's browser editor, so nothing to install. You earn a certificate by completing the course. After finishing, you can write static HTML and CSS webpages and understand how to style them. The main limitation: this is an introduction and it stops there. You won't learn advanced CSS like Flexbox or Grid, so pair this with freeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design course if you want the full picture.
Khan Academy's computer science courses have been taken by over 20 million learners worldwide (source: khanacademy.org/about).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Khan Academy's HTML/CSS course free?
Yes. All Khan Academy courses are free. No ads, no premium tier, funded by donations.
Do I need experience to start?
No. It starts from absolute zero, assuming no prior coding knowledge.
Are the videos enough to learn?
The videos explain the concepts, but the real learning happens when you write code in their editor. Watch the video, then practice the exercise.
Does it cover responsive design?
It introduces the idea with viewport meta tags, but doesn't deeply teach Flexbox or Grid. After this, take freeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design course for the modern tools.
What should I build after this?
Create your own personal portfolio website. Practice styling with what you learned, and gradually add more pages. Pair it with JavaScript next to make your site interactive.
