Description

Learn to interpret client briefs, ideate web designs, and build your own website. This course is designed to simulate a true web design studio and emulate the process design professionals undertake when working with clients. You’ll experience the entire design process which starts at the client briefing right through to a finished website.  

Learn how to manage and work with a range of clients. Discover how to prepare a winning pitch and develop a design brief. Learn to use HTML and CSS to construct and apply styles to your web pages. Your final website will be a responsive web design that can be viewed across multiple devices such as computer screens and smartphones. 

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.

Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device.
