Learn the complete process behind creating and publishing a website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
In web design, a good interface is able to mirror and satisfy how the human brain reacts. This means that there’s a hidden designer in every one of us—perhaps in need of awakening—that is capable of seeing something that works, and know that there’s a certain harmony to it, without being able to describe it. If you want to learn the web design principles and activate your inner designer, you’ve come to the right place.
In this course, you’ll discover the two aspects involved in creating a website: the basic techniques to plan and organize the information in wireframes, as well as the creation of a visual grammar using typography, color palettes, spacing, composition, and illustration. Then, you’ll delve into the construction of your page using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, until it’s ready to be launched online.
Your guide throughout this process will be Javier Usobiaga, web designer and founder of the Swwweet design studio, and teacher of many courses on Domestika, namely: SVG Vectorial Graphics: Illustrate and Animate with Code, Web Layout with CSS Grid, Flexbox and other Modern Techniques, Introduction to JavaScript Programming, and Introduction to Responsive Web Development with HTML and CSS, which will also be useful as an add-on to your newfound skills from this course.

Requirements and materials
Basic knowledge of how HTML and CSS work is recommended. If you haven’t got any experience in working with these, Javier teaches a course that you may want to do before taking this one: Introduction to Responsive Web Development with HTML and CSS.
You’ll need a computer and a coding editor (Javier suggests some that are free at the beginning of this course), a visual design program such as Sketch, Figma, or Adobe XD may be useful, but it’s not required to take this course.

A course by Javier Usobiaga Ferrer
Javier Usobiaga is a Web Designer for 10 years and co-founder with Marta Armada Swwweet studio, specialized in designing responsive webs from the initial conception to the front-end development.
He also enjoys a lot in his facet as professor of Web Design in renowned workshops and schools like Elisava, IDEP.
Usobiaga understands the web as a whole, not only how beautiful it can be on the computer screen, but its usability in different devices and circumstances.
In his words "I think that as important as the aesthetic is how fast it charges or how well it responds, and I think that in our industry we often forget about that."
