MUP05 - WEB DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS

This course teaches the complete process of Web page design, from the basics of HTML to strategies for designing and building a complete Web site. You begin by exploring the anatomy of a typical Web page, creating a simple HTML page, and learning to work with Web text and graphics. An important emphasis of this course is to teach you sound principles for designing Web sites, which includes creating paper prototypes. The course includes a thorough primer in HTML coding that serves as a solid grounding for use of FrontPage in the last two lessons. You learn to use FrontPage to create a moderately complex home page that you can post to the Web.

Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any difficulties throughout this course. We will be more than happy to assist you.
