Build and Analyze a Node.js Website

Overview

By the end of this course, learners will be able to set up a Node.js development environment, construct a multi-page static website, and implement basic server-side request handling using Node.js. Learners will develop practical skills in organizing project structure, creating reusable page layouts, and validating application output through browser-based testing. This course provides hands-on experience through a complete Node.js case study, guiding learners step by step from project introduction to final execution. Participants will learn how to build core website pages such as Home, About, Services, and Contact using HTML and CSS, and then integrate these pages with a Node.js server using the HTTP module. The course emphasizes understanding the request–response cycle, URL-based routing, and practical application flow rather than abstract theory. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end, project-driven approach tailored for beginners. Instead of isolated concepts, learners gain a holistic view of how frontend pages and backend logic work together in a real-world Node.js application. This course is ideal for learners seeking foundational Node.js skills through structured, practical implementation.

Syllabus

Project Setup and Initial Page Development

This module introduces learners to the Node.js case study and establishes the foundational development environment. It guides learners through installing Node.js, setting up the project structure, and creating the initial website layout. Learners build and refine the home page using HTML and CSS, focusing on layout design, navigation, and consistent styling. By the end of this module, learners gain a solid understanding of frontend structure and environment preparation required for a Node.js-based web project.

Website Pages, Backend Handling, and Final Output

This module focuses on completing the website by creating additional static pages and integrating backend functionality using Node.js. Learners design About, Services, and Contact pages while maintaining design consistency. The module then introduces request handling using the Node.js HTTP module, enabling page routing based on URLs. Finally, learners validate the complete project by running the server and reviewing the final output.
