ABOUT THESE TUTORIALS

If you know very little or nothing about HTML web page design, then these tutorials are for you. Each tutorial is actually an interactive lesson on some aspect of web page design. With these lessons, you should be able to produce an excellent website for your favorite charity, business, or simply for your own personal website.

If you are a beginner, I recommend that you begin with Lesson One and progress through the course lesson by lesson. Just take your time and be sure to try all the problems. You will be amazed at what you learn. You have all the basics you need right here in this website to get you started on some great looking web pages.

If you are only interested in a particular topic, then just go to the lesson featuring the topic.

SUGGESTION: You might find it easier to follow a lesson and to work on the problems if you first printed out the lesson on paper. Just choose PRINT from the menu bar at the top of your browser or choose FILE and then PRINT... If there are links in the lesson you can always go on line later and do them.

New lessons will continually be added as they are completed. Any new lesson or update will be announced at the beginning of my main home page and also on my alternate home page.

If you:

then please send me, John Gilson an e-mail (htmltutorials@bfree.on.ca).

Teaching is an important part of my life and I hope that I will also be able to teach you the basics of web page design through these lessons.

I would like to thank two people who are volunteers with the Brant FreeNet. They are Gil Charters and Syd Bolton. Both these gentlemen have been instrumental in getting this website up and running and making sure I was following proper coding practices and procedures. Their help is also very much on going. When someone writes in a question that I can't answer or if I'm not sure of the best answer, these two professionals are there to help me.
