Course Overview

This class teaches the foundations of web design. Students learn html, css and javascript. Students are required to think critically about what constitutes good design and create web pages that follow suit.

Unit 1

In this unit, we covered three main topics. Those topics were "What is Web Design?", Web Accessibility, and Color Theory. By looking at some of the ugliest websites we could find, we narrowed down what makes a good website. Some criteria we could all agree on were clean margins, minimal language, and logical graphics. Students also learned about hexadecimals and how strings of 6 characters are representative of different colors transmitted by pixel based screens. Everyone worked in teams to lay out a fictitious school website and learned about structuring a many-paged website. Finally, we discussed the limitations encountered by people with various disabilities as they experience websites and considerations web designers should take into account so that site content is accessible to all people.
