English 375/507 provides students with the foundation of skills needed to enter the complex but increasingly relevant world of web design. Through scheduled assignments called modules, students will practice basic skills which will increase in complexity. By the end of the course, students will have created their own website to serve their own needs. Students can choose to redesign an existing website or create an entirely new one with whatever content they choose. A popular website choice is the creation of a resume website, where students showcase their own work experience and talents. While this may seem daunting at first - especially to an English major - the entire semester is spent not only learning these skills but learning to analyze websites by scrutinizing their design choices. This class gives students the ability to understand a website's ultimate purpose by examining choices such as font, color scheme, background images, etc. These lessons give students the knowledge to create their own website and fulfill their own purposes, whatever they may be, in an efficient and tasteful manner.
