This course introduces students to the design of responsive websites as well as basic concepts in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design. Students will learn how websites are designed and built, what role designers take in website projects, and how the constraints and possibilities of web technologies can affect design. Projects in this course will introduce students to industry-standard web design software and will then work through all the stages of a web design project, from research and wireframing to creating mockups and clickable prototypes that can be shared with clients and web developers.
