With this need for crafting cool and amazing websites, various career prospects in web designing have rapidly emerged. This course is an introduction to the design, creation, and maintenance of web pages and websites. Students learn how to critically evaluate website quality, learn how to create and maintain quality web pages, learn about web design standards and why they're important, and learn to create and manipulate images.
