CompuScholar Web Design Course
Web Design by CompuScholar gives your teen the opportunity to move beyond simply using websites and begin creating them. In this full-credit high school course, students learn the foundations of web development through hands-on instruction in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery while building webpages of their own.
Designed for beginners, the course assumes no prior programming or web design experience. Through guided lessons and coding projects, your teen will learn how to structure web pages, format content, create navigation menus, incorporate images and media, manage layouts, and develop visually appealing, functional websites.
Throughout the course, students complete website projects and additional assignments that allow them to apply their skills in creative and practical ways. By the end of the course, they'll have a portfolio of work that demonstrates both technical ability and design experience.
The fully online format makes implementation straightforward. Students write their code right in the web browser, and everything saves automatically as they work. Nothing gets lost, and you can check in on progress anytime. Quizzes and tests are automatically graded, and most coding projects are auto-graded as well—so you can see exactly where your teen stands without needing a web development background yourself.
Whether your teen is considering future studies in technology, entrepreneurship, graphic design, marketing, or simply wants to understand how the web works, Web Design provides practical, transferable skills that extend far beyond the computer screen.
How to Use Web Design
- Plan on spending approximately 3–5 hours per week working through the course. Most students complete Web Design over a full school year, earning one high school credit while building practical web development skills.
- Each chapter includes online lessons, quizzes, coding exercises, and a chapter test. Encourage your teen to work through the instructional material carefully before moving on to the hands-on projects.
- The coding labs are where the concepts come to life. As your teen learns HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, he'll apply those skills by building and refining real web pages rather than simply reading about web design.
- Quizzes, tests, and most coding projects are automatically graded, so even parents with little or no coding experience can comfortably monitor progress and assess completed assignments.
- Encourage your teen to experiment beyond the minimum requirements. Adjusting layouts, testing design ideas, and troubleshooting code are all valuable parts of the learning process and often lead to the greatest growth.
By the end of the course, your teen will have created a portfolio of projects that demonstrate his growing understanding of web design, coding, and digital communication.

CompuScholar courses assume the student is already familiar with using a keyboard and mouse to select and run programs, navigate application menu systems, and generally interact with their operating system.
Programming students should understand how to store and retrieve files on the hard disk and how to use built-in operating system applications (Windows/File Explorer, Mac OS Finder) to navigate a file system and directory structures. It is helpful to also have some familiarity with text editors and using web browsers to find helpful information on the Internet.
We teach students how to program a computer from the ground up, but they should already know the basics about using one!

From there, click on "Common Administrative Features" and then review the "Grading Projects" walk-through video for homeschool / individual students.
