Learning Highlights (Weeks 0–6)
Quick snapshot of what I actually learned and built so far—my own words.
Module 0 — Orientation
Set up VS Code, a browser trio, and cPanel access. Skimmed the schedule so I don’t cram the deadline. Made a simple folder structure for assets.
Module 1 — Introduction to the Web
Saw the structure of a page: <html>, <head>, <body>. Practised headings, paragraphs, links, lists and alt text. Deployed a bare-bones page and it loaded!
Module 2 — Planning
Sketched a wireframe and sitemap in Figma. Picked a colour palette and two fonts early. Wrote short notes for each section so everything had a purpose.
Module 3 — Styling & Publishing
Separated content (HTML) from style (CSS). Added a simple grid and variables. Compressed images, used relative paths, and deployed to the server.
Module 4 — Intro to JavaScript
Kept JS tiny but useful: active-nav highlight and auto year in the footer. Made sure it stayed accessible—no keyboard traps, no hidden links.
Module 5 — CMS (WordPress)
Installed WP in a separate folder (/wpol/), created pages (Home, Contact, Terms), set the menu, and learnt blocks, themes and permalinks. Credited sources properly.
Module 6 — Professionalism
Practised commit-style notes, keeping a changelog, and checking accessibility basics (contrast, headings, focus) before calling a page “done”.
