Howdy, guys, it’s Mike here again and this is the second part of our “Basic Web Design Video Course”. This time we will talk about the tools needed before starting out with HTML and CSS, then we will learn the most commonly used HTML tags.
For this tutorial, we will only cover the tags that are very useful to beginners, we will cover more tags at a later time. Then, we will style the tags using basic CSS properties. No worries guys, in the next videos we will go more in-depth and learn together.
Have you seen the first part?

We will talk about the most commonly used tags that you’ll see on a website. We will cover headings, paragraphs, links, images, list items and divisions. Also we will familiarize ourselves with the basic structure of HTML markup and how to open and close a tag.
In this video we will learn to style a certain element or tag using CSS properties by changing width, height, colors, floats, etc. Using these basic properties we can turn our HTML markup into a well presented website.
Now that we have finished positioning our layout structure we can now proceed to the next part, which is marking up the HTML of our very basic design template and completely style it using CSS.
So, that’s it for this part. I hope you learned something and found the videos helpful. If you have any suggestions regarding the videos, or how I presented them, please leave a comment below. I’m really excited to hear your thoughts in the comment section, see you guys down there.

Hi Michael,
Thanks once again for taking the time and effort to present these videos. Although they are basics, I have (still) to catch up and learn HTML5, so it was good to see the new tags. Also thanks for introducing me to Intype. I have been using Dreamweaver/Notepad++ but I think I will give Intype a go, it seems really useful and more designer/developer friendly than Notepad++
Look forward to next part.
Will you be doing more advanced tutorials in HTML5?
Cheers,
Mike

Hello Mike,
Cool Name same as mine. Glad this to hear that this video makes you catch up with the basics of HTML 5.
Yeah! Intype for me is so good. I’ve been using this for about 2 years and I have no problem with it.
I still don’t know yet Mike, hopefully soon.
Thanks,
Michael
