High School and Middle School Web Design

Companies of all sizes need web designers to build and maintain their corporate brand story. Think about it. The web is how business markets. Just having HTML skills will not get you hired these days. Today, your students need more.


Mastering Responsive Web Design and Code

Concept design, layout, content creation and messaging are the skills that companies hire for. Our Web Design career curriculum teaches students how to use HTML5 and CSS3 to build websites from the ground up. We engage them with the technical skills they need to make high-performing sites. We let interviews with working professionals put the technical skills they learn into an industry context.


Industry-Recognized Web Design Certifications

We make it all relevant to their futures through their portfolio and the international industry-recognized certification you may reward them with at the end of the course. The third-party certification is free and comes from the international professional association for all things web – Web Professionals Global. Our curriculum aligns with the Web Professionals Global exam.

Chromebook-Ready Curriculum for 1:1 Classrooms

By design, we have made this course easy to deploy. Teachers and students do not need any previous web coding or design experience and it can be run on any device from Chromebooks to MacBooks. The course is 100% web-based and can be worked on in the classroom, at home, or from anywhere.


This is a media rich and highly interactive hands-on course. Over 150 tutorial videos guide your students through coding HTML and CSS3 into web pages and sites. Over 50 individual expert videos coach students through the broader concepts of aesthetics, design, content development and managing a web design team.


Along the way, they will learn critical STEM skills, develop confidence, and build a college and career-ready portfolio. Let this be an exciting introduction and great a first step towards advanced education or their career.

The students also get assessed along the way. Finally, the Website Projects are designed for the students to illustrate their learned skills throughout the course. Your courses are really one of the best platforms I’ve seen since teaching CS.” Tanya Wardally – Boy and Girls HS NYC
