freeCodeCamp Responsive Web Design: HTML, CSS and Free Certification

freeCodeCamp’s Responsive Web Design certification is a practical path for learning HTML, CSS, accessibility, forms, Flexbox, Grid and responsive design. It is especially useful for learners who want to build pages from scratch and demonstrate learning through projects.

What this course actually offers

freeCodeCamp published a new Responsive Web Design version with lessons, workshops, labs, quizzes, five certification projects and an exam. The organization states that its verified certifications remain free.

What learners can learn

  • Semantic HTML structure and forms.
  • CSS for styling, selectors, variables and visual composition.

Who it makes sense for
