Written by students, for students, our web development course is completely beginner friendly and accessible for all - we think it would be a fantastic unit for year 9s, as well as being perfect for A-level students undertaking a web-development related NEA.

3️⃣ Level 3: Web design will teach students to design websites that look the treat, undertaking a project for a fictional client: Orchard Juice 🧃. Through a series of videos, they’ll learn the full process involved in designing a brand identity and creating a website wireframe.

2️⃣ Level 2: CSS is where students learn to add ✨style✨ to their websites. They’ll code a Top Trumps card, the UK Top 40 Chart, and as essential Navbar, that they can reuse on all their sites.

1️⃣ In Level 1: HTML, students will learn about the basic elements that form all web pages. They’ll create a “capture the page” game, and create pages including Orwell’s 1984, and an amusing Adrian Chiles article - thereby boosting both their cultural and coding knowledge!

A-levels: finally done!

Between the two of us co-founders, we've managed to sit 20 exams in the last month, answering 1820 marks worth of questions, which took 40 hours. That's not to mention our Computer Science coursework (which took far longer...).
