Starting the Internship From Classroom to Real systems 
 
 Before my  externship, I had learned the basics — HTML, CSS, a bit of JavaScript, and how websites are structured. But real- world experience? That’s a whole different story. 
 
 When I joined the Web Design externship Program at Shanthi Academy, I was introduced to  customer- grounded  systems, responsive design  ways, and assiduity tools like 
 
WordPress and Elementor 
 
 Bootstrap for mobile-friendly layouts
