This course will help you create the elements and features that are immediately visible to the end-user or client of a website, including styling, images, text, alignment, navigation, colours and so on. You will learn how to ensure that the user experience is as seamless as possible. You will also explore how to assist with debugging and add to the overall design of a website. 

There are no formal entry requirements.
