I've been on this forum for years (this is where I really started freelancing) and I've always seen questions about how to get started with HTML and CSS in multiple threads, so I thought I'd tell you all about
Codecademy. This website is a helpful place for learning code via short exercises. It's interactive and it helps you learn without having to read a book. The best part is that you don't need any software to get started, everything is done on the website.
I've compiled a list of simple exercises that, to the best of my ability, are in correct order as to how you'd typically learn the basics of HTML and CSS:
-
HTML: Fundamentals
-
More with HTML
-
CSS: Coding with Style
-
My First Webpage
-
Intro to CSS Positioning
-
Advanced CSS positioning
-
Build a Website
Do note that you won't learn everything from these simple tutorials, but they might help break the wall between you and beginning to code websites.
I hope this helps, and please leave any questions below.
