HTML and Web Design Tutorial - Home Page

Introduction

Site Updated 4 Dec 03

This free HTML programming and Web site design tutorial will provide you with all the information you require to create an exciting Web Page or Web site design, suitable for both the complete beginner and more advanced website creator. This free HTML tutorial will show you how to use HTML tags

Students of courses such as T171,T170 and TT280 of the Open University ( OU ), will find many of the pages of great interest. The OU does not go into much detail about the actual hyper text markup language code required, in courses T171 and T170, relying on Netscape Composer, to provide this code for you. If you wish to create something more than a simple web page or site, then learning the actual code is essencial.
