A Hands-On Beginner's Guide to HTML, CSS & JavaScript with Projects, Exercises, and AI-Powered Learning
Do you want to learn web design but feel overwhelmed by HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
Have you tried tutorials before, only to get stuck, confused, or unsure what to learn next?
Modern Web Design in 30 Days is a complete, beginner-friendly roadmap designed to take you from zero experience to confidently building, styling, and publishing real websites - one focused day at a time.
This book is not about memorizing syntax or copying endless code examples. It's about learning by doing, building confidence through hands-on projects, and developing the mindset of a modern web designer.

Over 30 carefully structured days, you will:
✔ Understand how the web actually works
