Print this page

Is this course for you?

This course is designed to provide you with the skills to assist in the design, development, build and evaluation of a website via user interaction and user experience.

The skills learnt will provide you with an understanding of design theory, users, and usability requirements and how to apply these through front-end and back end development.

This will be done by providing both an appreciation of web aesthetics and practicalities of online design combined with the understanding of the code used to develop a website (HTML and JavaScript).

You will learn about design process, critical, creative and design thinking, rapid prototyping and how to use software to code your site.

Within the course there are aspects of collaborative design and critical analysis applied to allow you to hone their craft and to work towards designing and developing an innovative, creative, and workable website.
Required qualifications

No formal qualifications are required, but an understanding of computing, graphic or web design would be beneficial but not essential.

- How to apply creative and aesthetic design choices to your own work
- An understanding of how to profile customers, clients, and user needs
- Software skills in Adobe packages
- An understanding of user interfaces and user focused design
- Basic understanding of coding conventions in HTML and JavaScript
- How to collaborate and critically analyse work

Testimonials

"Learning both the creative and technical elements needed to create a webpage is a set of skills that combines two very different disciplines. Both of these set of skills are needed and equally important and knowing the rules (and how you can break them) of the creative process allows you to better understand the limitations and context of the coding side of web design".
