A revolutionary development in communication, the World Wide Web offers unprecedented access to mass audiences. This introductory course focuses on the principles and practices necessary to create effective pages for the Web.

You will receive instruction in writing hypertext documents, designing Web pages, authoring well-formed XHTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and meeting a variety of technical challenges. The course focuses on purpose, scope, and audience considerations in page design; writing informative and persuasive on-line documents; designing coherent, portable, navigable, and interactive pages; and employing the fundamental principles of color theory, typography, layout and graphic design for the Web.

Combining lab, lecture, and discussion, you will learn the best practices of electronic design to create your own interactive Web sites. Be sure to check into the class Web site every day for announcements.

During the first class meeting, everyone will be responsible to discuss with the class some part of the course information, syllabus and reading and design assignments. The various areas for presentation to your fellow students will be assigned during class.
