Careers in web design and development are exploding and technology is ever-changing as new devices for inter-net use emerge. HTML, CSS and JavaScript are the critical web-coding languages learned in this course.
Additionally, students explore user experience-focused design, web industry standards and the "business" of the web. Numerous coding editors and web application software by Adobe including Dreamweaver and Photoshop are utilized. A passion for design and coding are the only prerequisites for this course. In the second year, students will apply web-coding skills in a variety of design projects to suit all types of web-enabled devices. Using a simulation model of learning, students develop the skills to create and manage projects with a focus on meeting client needs. Industry-leading software is used throughout both years of the program. Qualified students will be eligible to sit for industry recognized certifications from Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW), Adobe and Microsoft.
