Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design; user interface design (UI design); authoring, including standardized code and proprietary software; user experience design (UX design); and search engine optimization. Often many individuals will work in teams covering different aspects of the design process, although some designers will cover them all. The term “web design” is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website including writing markup.

You will learn how to build your site in a modular way. This means that you will not build the website in a single day, but instead work on small parts of the final page every day until you achieve your desired result. You will also be provided with daily exercise files to learn the HTML and CSS concepts needed to build your site.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Display plain text and images in the browser.
• Create a simple plan to summarize images and text.
• Learn how to style the layout and interface (background colors / images, fonts, layout widths, etc.)
• Learn how to add media: video and / or audio.
• Make the page suitable for different screen sizes.
