Build Web Interfaces That Last

HTML and CSS are the foundation of everything you build for the web. Every framework, every library, every fancy tool eventually compiles down to HTML and CSS. If you don’t understand these fundamentals deeply, you’re building your entire career on shaky ground.

I’ve taught over 360,000 students how to build web applications, and here’s what I’ve learned: the developers who struggle most aren’t struggling because they don’t know enough tricks. They struggle because their mental models are broken.

You’ve probably felt this. You follow a tutorial, it works, you feel good. Then your boss asks you to build something slightly different, and you’re lost. You don’t know why your CSS cascade isn’t behaving. You don’t understand why your layout breaks. You Google frantically, try random Stack Overflow solutions, and hope something sticks.

I’m going to be direct with you: that’s not a sustainable way to build a career.

Stop Building Divs and Spans Everywhere

Here’s a hard truth: most developers are building inaccessible websites without even knowing it. They reach for <div> and <span> for everything because that’s what they’ve seen in tutorials. But HTML gives you semantic elements for a reason. When you use proper semantic HTML, you’re not just writing cleaner code. You’re making your sites accessible to people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, and assistive technologies. You’re improving SEO. You’re writing markup that actually means something.

I’ll teach you to break this habit and author HTML the way it was designed to be written.

Go to the Source

This course is different because we go to the source. Not just my interpretation, not just best practices someone made up. We read the actual HTML and CSS specifications together. We look at how browser rendering engines actually work, under the hood. We understand the problems these technologies were designed to solve, so when you face new problems, you’ll know how to think about them.

For Beginners: Start Right

You’ll build accurate mental models from day one. You won’t develop the bad habits that take years to unlearn. You’ll understand semantic HTML and how it makes your sites accessible to everyone. You’ll learn the cascade, inheritance, and specificity in a way that actually makes sense. When you finish this course, you won’t just know how to build layouts. You’ll understand why CSS works the way it does.

For Experienced Developers: Reset Your Mental Models

This course will reset the mental models you’ve been fighting against. You know that feeling when CSS doesn’t behave the way you expect? That’s not CSS being weird. That’s a gap in understanding. We’ll fill those gaps. You’ll learn to read the specs with confidence, which means you’ll be able to teach yourself every new CSS feature that comes along, from Container Queries to :has to CSS Nesting. You’ll stop fighting your tools and start wielding them with precision.

What You’ll Master

We’ll build modern, responsive interfaces using Flexbox, Grid, and cutting-edge CSS features. You’ll learn mobile-first responsive design. You’ll even learn how to prompt AI tools to generate better HTML and CSS, because you’ll understand what quality output actually looks like.

This isn’t about memorizing properties. It’s about understanding systems. The students who take this approach, who commit to truly understanding rather than just imitating, they’re the ones who become senior developers, tech leads, and architects. They’re the ones who solve problems instead of creating them.

Your career deserves a solid foundation. Let me help you build it.
