- Write selectors to target only specific parts of a page
- Produce horizontal and vertical navigation bars
- Style hyperlinks
- Differentiate between external, embedded, and inline styles
Our goals are for you to understand how to create and adjust your own HTML documents, and for you to understand how to enhance the visual appearance of your web pages.
Course Target Audience and delegate prerequisites:
This course is intended for anyone interested in producing or editing content for the web.
You will need basic PC or Mac skills, including a solid understanding of a computer's operating system (Windows or Mac OS). You will also need to know how to launch a program, create and save files, and copy files from CDs and other media.

I had previously carried out this course many years ago, and left feeling disheartened as I struggled to keep up with the pace. However my experience this time has been completely different, I have understood everything and Alan was great at explaining things in a digestible way. The course notes are brilliant and far beyond what I expected. I am leaving this course today feeling confident to take forward what I have learnt.

Marek was an excellent tutor. He was very personable, very patient, and very clear with his explanations. His technical abilities were excellent and he exuded a sense that he knew what he was talking about and that he was the person to help us on our learning journey. This made it easy to trust him. He made the course very enjoyable. Overall the communication and the administrational processes from xchange training was excellent. When I called to enquire about the course the phone was answered within a couple rings, and the person I spoke to was able to explain the content of the course as well as its suitability for me based on my description of my current ability. There was thorough email correspondence from the time of booking and payment all the way through to the pre-course reminder the day before the course. Very happy with my experience
