Seems to be really well crafted for the complete beginners with step-by-step, encouraging approach (LEGO, clear transition from text to HTML with side-by-side comparison etc.)

If you're targeting novices, perhaps you'll find some inspiration for the layout in O'Reilly's "Head First" series: http://shop.oreilly.com/category/series/head-first.do?sortby...

They have done incredible work to make not only the content, but also its presentation attractive for the beginners.
