Web Design
A high-demand career – the web is how business markets, sells, and connects.
Companies of all sizes need web designers to build and maintain their corporate brand story. Think about it. The web is how business markets. Just having HTML skills will not get you hired these days. Today, your students need more.
Our Web Design career curriculum teaches students how to use HTML5 and CSS3 to build websites from the ground up. We engage them with the technical skills they need to make high-performing sites. We let interviews with working professionals put the technical skills they learn into an industry context.
We make it all relevant to their futures through their portfolio and the international industry-recognized certification you may reward them with at the end of the course. The 3rd party certification is free and comes from the international professional association for all things web – WebProfessionalsGlobal.org.
Concept design, layout, content creation and messaging are the skills that companies hire for. By design, we have made this course easy to deploy. Neither teachers nor learners need any previous web coding or design experience.
This is a media rich and highly interactive hands-on course. Over one hundred fifty tutorial videos step your students through coding HTML and CSS3 into web pages and sites. Over fifty individual expert videos coach students through the broader concepts of aesthetics, design, content development and managing a web design team.
Along the way, they will learn critical STEM skills, develop confidence, and build a college and career-ready portfolio along the way. Let this be an exciting introduction and great a first step towards advanced education or their career.
Might we suggest some complementary curricula choices you might consider. The embedded industry certifications with these courses stack with the certification in the Web Design for Business and Marketing curriculum.
