Description

The World Wide Web is fast becoming a dynamic information medium. Web designers are able to deliver the information required tailored to the client's needs. Web designers with dynamic publishing knowledge can create easily updatable websites with boilerplate designs and data insertion. This unit develops your skills and abilities in these areas, which is particularly important for e-commerce. You will build an understanding of designing dynamically-generated online content through analysing the intended audience, objectives and expected outcomes for an e-commerce or database site design.
