What Will You Learn?

Website design has come a long way since its inception in the late 1980s. From its humble beginnings as a text-based platform, web designers have evolved to create complex and visually stunning designs with 3D graphics and mobile-responsive features. Whilst this could sound daunting for those looking to become a web designer, the internet’s evolution has brought with it tools and standardisations that make it a friendly, more accessible place.

Through this online Website Design Course, you’ll learn about website tools and builders, how to design web pages (including the key design and functionality elements to incorporate), important technical information, and the various career paths available within web design.

The course begins with a brief history of web design and the evolutionary journey that has dictated where it is today. You’ll discover various web design tools and builders and the difference between user experience design and user interface design. We’ll also look at the distinctions between the different types of website designs and their purposes.

The course discusses how to design a homepage and other important web pages, and the elements to include. The key elements of website design are outlined, including layout, typography, graphics, colours, code, visual effects, content, and accessibility.

We’ll cover the functional elements of web design, including navigation, engagement, the use of animations, and cross-browser and cross-device compatibility. You’ll also learn about other important web design factors, such as loading speeds, choosing web hosting and a domain name, and SEO.

Finally, we’ll discuss the different occupations within website design – the more common and those that might not be so well-known.

Our Website Design Course, doesn’t leave it there. Putting your new skills to practice, you’ll follow step-by-step guidance to build your own custom website. We’ve included 6 modules that will help you do just that, using the popular website building platform, WordPress.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Become familiar with the history and evolution of web design
  • Discover web design tools and website builders 
  • Understand how to design a homepage and other important web pages
  • Learn key design elements, including layout, typography, graphics, code, content, colours, layout, and visual effects
