The CompuScholar 2026 Web Design online course is designed for 6th-12th grade students looking for a step-by-step introduction to designing their own websites. HTML is the foundation of the World Wide Web. It's important for students interested in web design to begin with a solid grounding in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills.
This course covers one full school year. It can be completed from any Windows, Mac OS, Chromebook, or tablet device.
The first semester covers basic web site layout, HTML symbols, text styling, hyperlinks, navigation bars, simple CSS effects, spacing and positioning, graphics and image editing, tables and website design strategies.
In the second semester, students will make their web pages come to life with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. Topics include new HTML5 elements, dynamic navigation menus, embedded audio and video, new CSS3 styles, JavaScript, JQuery animations and more!
Students will build fun, high-quality websites with professional features throughout the web design course. They will also have an opportunity to create their own unique project at the end of the course.
Students don't need any prior programming or HTML experience. We build all web design skills from the ground up.
All web designing course material is delivered online to both students and teachers. There are no textbooks to wear out or CDs to scratch. Simply purchase online logins for your students and teachers to get started.
Each chapter contains multiple lessons with:
