Skills Development

At Queen's:

HTML for Beginners: Knowledge of HTML is helpful for anyone who wants to build or maintain a website. A solid understanding of HTML is also the basis for accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO) practices, and for ensuring that your web content looks great across different browsers and platforms.

"HTML for Beginners" is an online workshop geared toward staff and faculty who are using, or plan to use, a content management system (such as the WebPublish) to build and manage a website but have limited training or experience.

Participants are guided through the basics of HTML, the standard markup language for web pages. Participants learn about the commonly used HTML tags and attributes, and the best practices for their usage. Participants also start to write simple code themselves.
