Files and Folders That Make a Site
Create an index.html, a styles.css, and a script.js inside a clean project folder. Open the folder in your editor and browser. Share a screenshot of your structure to celebrate your first step.
Linking CSS and JavaScript the Right Way
Use a link tag for CSS in the head, and a script tag before the closing body. If nothing runs, check filenames and paths carefully. Comment below if you still get errors.
A Tiny First Page Story
A student named Maya saw a blank page for hours until she moved her script tag beneath the content. It instantly worked. Remember, placement matters. Tell us your first win today.
JavaScript Fundamentals Without the Jargon
Think of variables like labeled jars holding values: numbers, text, or booleans. Use const for fixed values, let for changeable ones. Try logging your name and age, then share your console output.
Make the main heading biggest, subheadings smaller, and body text comfortable. Use generous spacing between sections. Try a 1.6 line-height and tell us whether reading feels calmer afterward.
Design Basics That Guide Real People
Pick one primary color for buttons and links, and ensure contrast passes accessible thresholds. Test with a contrast checker. Share your palette choices and we will suggest subtle improvements.

DOM Interaction, Semantics, and Accessibility
Use document.querySelector to grab elements, then change textContent or classList. Try toggling a dark mode class. Share your toggle button code and ask for refinements if it flickers.
DOM Interaction, Semantics, and Accessibility
Choose header, main, nav, and footer instead of generic divs. Assistive technologies navigate faster with meaningful landmarks. Paste your semantic skeleton and we will offer gentle improvement tips.
Debugging and Performance for Beginners
Comment out sections, test one line at a time, and use console.log thoughtfully. When you fix something, explain it in your notes. Share a recent bug story and what finally solved it.
Mini Project: Your First Portfolio Home Page
Sketch sections for intro, projects, and contact. Decide on two colors, two type sizes, and one button style. Share your sketch photo or outline for early, supportive feedback.
Mini Project: Your First Portfolio Home Page
