Skills demonstrated

Writing a web page by hand in a plain text editor and saving it so a browser reads it as a page · Marking copy up for what it means — heading levels, paragraphs, importance, and three kinds of list — rather than for how it should look · Writing the characters the markup reserves as character references, and knowing which ones the standard actually requires · Placing pictures with the text a picture needs, and deciding what a decorative picture gets instead · Attaching an external stylesheet and writing type and class selectors against the document · Reading a brand sheet and ruling out a colour that does not reach the contrast minimum for its size · Predicting which of two rules wins, from source order, specificity and inheritance · Sizing and spacing a column with the box model, and making pictures shrink with it · Reading your own page back through the browser's element inspector and its own source, and finding the difference between what you wrote and what the browser did

What was built

One finished page for a small business, built from the pack that business handed over: the words marked up for what they mean, the pictures carrying the text a picture needs, and a stylesheet of its own carrying the brand's colours, type and spacing. You keep the folder, and it opens in any browser on any machine.

The 6 sessions, and when each was completed on their own

Each session was completed twice: once with step-by-step guidance on one company’s data, then on a second company’s data from a brief, with guidance only when asked. Every check passed on both. Alongrail records the sessions, the checks and the dates; the dashboard itself is the learner’s own, hosted where they chose.
