Course Reviews
Love Belinda. She is a great teacher and very helpful for a novice and more experienced alike. Easy (???) to follow course outline even when you don't know the subject.
This course builds on the Essentials course very well. I found it most useful after using the knowledge from the essentials course for a while first. It's fast-paced and covers a lot of ground - but much of it is about things I now know I want to use on my site. Belinda - the instructor - is expert and a patient, very capable teacher.
Belinda is good at showing you the bigger picture and then following with the detail so you can understand everything in context
This course was really insightful, and I had learnt a lot, even having knowledge in html and css, I still learnt things I didn't know!
