Basics of Web Design: HTML5 & CSS is intended for use in a beginning web design or web development course. Topics are introduced in two-page sections that focus on key points and often include a hands-on practice exercise. The text covers the basics that web designers need to develop their skills:

- Introductory Internet and World Wide Web concepts
- Creating web pages with HTML5
- Configuring text, color, and page layout with Cascading Style Sheets
- Configuring images and multimedia on web pages
- Exploring CSS Flexbox and CSS Grid layout systems
- Web design best practices
- Creating responsive web pages that display well on both desktop and mobile devices
- Accessibility, usability, and search engine optimization considerations
- Obtaining a domain name and a web host
- Publishing to the Web

Design for Today and Tomorrow. The textbook prepares students to design web pages that work today in addition to being ready to take advantage of new HTML5 and CSS coding techniques of the future.

Well-Rounded Selection of Topics. This text includes both “hard” skills such as HTML5 and Cascading Style Sheets (Chapters 1–2 and 4–11) and “soft” skills such as web design (Chapter 3) and publishing to the Web (Chapter 12). This well-rounded foundation will help students as they pursue careers as web professionals. Students and instructors will find classes more interesting because they can discuss, integrate, and apply both hard and soft skills as students create web pages and websites. The topics in each chapter are typically-introduced on concise two-page sections that are intended to provide quick overviews and timely practice with the topic.

Two-Page Topic Sections. Most topics are introduced in a concise, two-page section. Many sections also include immediate hands-on practice of the new skill or concept. This approach is intended to appeal to your busy students—especially the millennial multitaskers—who need to drill down to the important concepts right away.

Hands-On Practice. Web design is a skill, and skills are best learned by hands-on practice. This text emphasizes hands-on practice through practice exercises within the chapters, end-of-chapter exercises, and the development of a website through ongoing real-world case studies. This variety provides instructors with a choice of assignments for a particular course or semester.

Website Case Study. There are case studies that continue throughout most of the text (beginning at Chapter 2). The case studies serve to reinforce skills discussed in each chapter. Sample solutions to the case study exercises are available on the Instructor Resource Center available through pearsonhighered.com/felke.

Focus on Web Design. Every chapter offers an additional activity that explores web design topics related to the chapter. These activities can be used to reinforce, extend, and enhance the course topics.
