Intro to Web Design

The course "Web Design" is a one-credit, full-year program designed for junior and senior high school students, meeting Mondays from 9:00 am to 10:00 am Central time. Led by instructor Laura Nolette, the course aims to teach students the fundamentals of web design, enabling them to create and customize web pages and complete websites from scratch. Throughout the year, students will learn HTML and XHTML, design principles, good web page design practices, and how to create eBooks for eReaders like Kindle. Additionally, the course provides career guidance in web design and development.

The course follows a structured syllabus, covering various aspects of web design over 30 weeks. Starting with basics like the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web, students gradually delve into designing and formatting websites, using cascading style sheets (CSS), and more complex topics like graphical menus, photo galleries, and frames. The course uses the textbook "Web Design" by Laura Nolette, available at powerlineprod.com, and requires a computer with a plain text editor.
