"Tried and Tested Web Design Insights! There's a lot of articles surfacing on the web concerning this subject, but they often focus on fads and not fundamentals. This course provides insights into the fundamentals and essentials of proper web design. It's a brief, yet impactful look at some timeless do's and don'ts that can help anyone who is just starting out in the web design world or who needs a refresher. Enjoyed it along with the quizzes!" -C. Eliot.
Would you like to be able to improve your existing website, either one you made yourself or one someone made for you, but you don't know where to start? This quick and dirty (and fun) course will teach you through case studies what to look for in a successful website and how you can begin to design the best possible user experience for your audience all in just a little over 30 minutes.
Grab your lunch and in no time you'll be able to recognize what's working and what might not be working in your website so you'll know what can be done to make it better.
This course designed for complete beginners comes from the very first lecture I give my University Web Design students on Day One, right before we begin building websites from scratch using HTML code. The goal of this lecture and this online course is to help build confidence in first time web designers and to teach how to look at websites with a critical eye.
This course also is the very first section of my full web foundations course, Web Snax: Super Simple Recipes for Easy Website Design that teaches beginners, novices, and beyond how to create and manage beautiful websites from scratch in the most simple and intuitive way possible.
I'm a tenured Associate Professor of Digital Media and the Program Director of Film & Digital Media at The American University of Rome and a practicing award-winning multimedia artist.
I have run my own charitable website, Aura's House that has raised over $100K for needy children in developing countries around the world. I also manage my own online portfolio, and have personally worked on the official website for multi-platinum, award-winning rock band, The B-52's and designed and/or contributed to websites for clients and non-profit organizations.
I have over 15 years of experience teaching students all over the world using my tried and true custom approach (turning complex information into something simple, memorable, easy-to-understand in as short amount of time as possible) to ensure that you get the most important, relevant, and useful information that can be applied immediately.
Please note that students enrolled in ANY of my courses periodically receive freebies and discounts to my other current and upcoming courses as well.
