• Create multi-page sites that bring together text, images, and other elements
• Adjust your layouts for different screen sizes to build responsive webpages
• Use browser developer tools to look under the hood and test out code changes
• Publish your site by uploading the files through FTP

Push your CSS abilities further with this in-depth course built around the topics that separate basic styling from refined design. You'll work through SVG, CSS variables, gradients, shadows, positioning, transitions, transforms, and responsive images, gaining the tools to build webpages that look clean, modern, and genuinely professional.

• Master advanced CSS concepts including positioning, complex selectors, relative sizing units (px, em, rem), and the calc() function
• Create sophisticated visual styles using multiple background images, RGBA transparency, gradients, shadows, and more
• Work with SVG graphics in a variety of ways and learn to style them directly with CSS
• Build responsive images with img srcset and the picture element for optimized performance
• Use CSS variables to write cleaner, more flexible, and maintainable code
• Create mobile-friendly off-screen navigation menus using only CSS
• Add motion and interactivity through CSS transitions and transforms

Learn how to use CSS Flexbox and Grid to arrange and align webpage content and make it adapt to screens of every size. See how both of these newer CSS techniques prove useful and when to reach for each one. You'll also learn how to use Bootstrap (which relies on Flexbox) to build out layouts quickly.

• CSS Flexbox to arrange and align webpage content
• CSS Grid for a fresh way to think about laying out entire webpages
• Bootstrap (built with Flexbox) to assemble layouts quickly
• How Flexbox and Grid reshape the way you approach webpage layout
• Sizing, positioning, aligning, and reordering content with Flexbox and Grid
