About the Author
A Guide to Website Design arose out of Marcia's desire to create websites as a "side gig", and it began as notes she kept while learning HTML and CSS. Having been a high school teacher, a technical writer, and a science and finance writer, Marcia had the skills necessary to turn those notes into a guide that would help others learn website design. Come along with Marcia on this journey of learning.
