CSS: Web Page Layout - Usability and Accessibility

In this course, you will learn how to use CSS to control the appearance, layout and responsiveness of web pages. Through interactive, guided lab activities on Coursera, you will style existing HTML pages and build responsive layouts using modern techniques such as CSS Grid, ensuring your designs work well across a range of screen sizes and devices. You will explore the principles of responsive and accessible design, learning what web accessibility means and why it matters for users, organisations and society. Using hands-on exercises, you will apply practical techniques to improve accessibility, including testing pages with assistive technologies and automated accessibility checking tools, then fixing common issues to meet recognised standards. The course also introduces advanced CSS features such as variables, selectors, transitions and animations. By applying these in guided labs, you will develop efficient, maintainable and accessible stylesheets that reflect current best practice in modern web design.
