Many people have the impression of Web design as a purely technical task, somewhat akin to programming or designing a database. In their view, the "difficult part" of creating a Web site is coming up with the final HTML code that makes the page display.
This is absolutely not the case.
If only it were that easy...
In reality, web design covers an enormous range of skills, some of which are professions in their own right. To be a good web designer, you must truly be a "jack of all trades". It probably helps if you're a master in at least one or two of them.
But that doesn't mean the task is hopeless. It's possible to get by with just a few of the basics in each area. In fact, a large part of success can be achieved by simply understanding that certain areas need to be considered for your Web site, rather than ignoring them completely.
This course aims to help you reach that basic level of understanding, as a foundation for further practice and learning.
