Guide to Building a Landing Page with HTML, CSS, and the Skeleton Framework

At Bloc, we think we’ve learned a lot about learning. The steepest part of any learning curve is the very beginning. And while browser-based exercises like Codecademy are a fantastic way to bring new people into the fold, they frustrate many, who want to build a real website.

With our first BlocBook, we’ve endeavored to simplify the experience so that any beginner can quickly get started and ship a real website online. Getting to that a-ha moment with programming is criticial to the learning journey.
