About the Course
Welcome to Introduction to Web Design & Development!
This experience is intended to make you comfortable with presenting yourself through the web, learning skills that should allow you to build, manage, and develop websites.
This is not a Wix or WordPress development course; this is a development course! Here, we learn coding and do-it-yourself design, so be prepared to roll up your sleeves and “git” dirty...
Here, students will gain necessary skills in this introduction to the fundamentals of website structure, content design, and navigation. Areas of focus will be directory structure, visual design, user navigation, audio/video integration, and domain management. This course is open to all level of student, but and is geared to non-majors and beginners.
We will start with an overview of technologies used for web development, followed by an in-depth presentation of HTML and CSS. We conclude by exploring responsive web design, site frameworks, and site management solutions.
