Build interactive websites for your business or project using Flask, PostgreSQL, HTML, and CSS.
The best way to share your work is by putting it online. Whether you've made a app you want others to use, or you want to put your business online and start selling, a website is the tool for the job.
It's easy to make a website public, to collect data from your users, and to make sales.
In this course you'll learn how build the front-end of a website with HTML and CSS, and then how to serve it using Flask. You'll also add user authentication and collect user data with PostgreSQL.
By the end of the course you'll have built 4 complete web projects that you can add to your portfolio or simply take inspiration from when you build your own website.
