Learn 6.3: Intro to Web Creation

Essential Question:

What are the different purposes that websites are used for and why?

Who Creates the Web?

You’re stepping into the role of a web creator—learning the foundations of structure and design. But these aren’t rigid rules; they’re a starting point. You have the freedom to explore, question, and reshape them to fit your unique perspective. As you move through the design process, stay curious. Ask yourself: “Which rules work for me, and which ones am I ready to reinvent?” The web is for everyone—not just for those who can code. Now, more than ever, anyone can create and contribute. This is how the web was always meant to be: open, creative, and inclusive. With this creative power comes a responsibility to use it thoughtfully. This is your chance to share your story and make your voice heard online. And the web needs more voices—especially those that reflect a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. As you explore examples, reflect critically: “Who was this made for? How can I redesign it to be more inclusive and welcoming to others?”
