WEB 210 - Web Design Layout

3 Credit Hours

This course is designed to give students experience structuring and organizing a successful website. Students will learn how to effectively plan a site by evaluating its audience, defining the site’s goals, examining competitors’ sites, and establishing a relevant site structure and navigational layout. The student will identify usability and accessibility issues including those relating to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and apply strategies to meet those requirements. Students will also study issues of contemporary web design aesthetics including navigation, visual design, page layout, typography, and color. After developing a paper-based prototype of a site, the student will use Adobe Dreamweaver to build a website based on these functional and layout best practices to enhance the user experience. The student will effectively use templates and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in the resulting website.
