About This Workshop
Welcome to the 1-week-website session! I’m super excited that you’re keen to start learning how to make your own websites – from scratch!
During this week, I’ll take you from knowing nothing to knowing enough to begin a journey into the nerdy-world of websites! You’ll be taken through the basics of HTML and CSS; how to plan your site; what apps to use; and how to write your code.
I’ll give you milestones to reach. I’ll give you support. And by the end of it you’ll have created a fun website that you can share with the whole world. After the session you’ll be able to get cracking with any kind of website you could imagine!
You don't need any prior experience. All you need is a computer!

Milestone 3: Make and share your first webpage – due Aug 25.
Assignment: Watch video 5! And then follow along, make your first webpage ever.
Deliverable: Share your first website in the Project Gallery! If you can do this, you can do websites! This is the first major milestone. Don’t worry if it look ugly – we’ll get to making it pretty in the next few days!

Milestone 4: Write and share some HTML you wrote (and understood) – due Aug 26.
Assignment: Watch videos 6 and 7. And then follow along, write some HTML that you understand.
Deliverable: Share the HTML you wrote in the project gallery. It still doesn’t have to look pretty – it’s not the point at the moment!

Milestone 5: Learn CSS – due Aug 27.
Assignment: Watch videos 8 and 9. And then follow along, write some HTML with CSS that you understand. It’s key that you understand!
Deliverable: Share the link to your webpage that has some styling applied to it in the Project Gallery! You can make this look as pretty as you like, but pace yourself :)

Milestone 6: Finish your cartoon hero’s website – due Aug 31.
Assignment: Watch videos 10 through 14. Follow along. Plan your site. Collect images, text, links and whatever else you’d like to put into your website! Next, write the HTML and CSS for your site. Have fun! Break the class format if you like. Do something different. Explore!
Deliverable: Share the link to your cartoon character’s website in the Project Gallery. Make it look amazing!
And from here on out, you can call yourself a nerd, a hacker, a ninja, a wizard – whatever you please – because you rock.
