Web Design courses aid students in learning how to design effective websites, using a variety of technological skills and software, that properly promote products, services and ideas. Subjects that students may study could include exploring web-based techniques and software, understanding naming conventions, architecture design, the implementation of images and content, web-based languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript, search engine optimisation, website analytics, and managing websites.

Channel your creativity and big ideas into a rewarding new career by studying an in-demand web design course.

Bringing together elements of creative design, technical thinking and big-picture dreaming, web design is a dynamic emerging profession suited to a wide variety of people.

Working closely with clients to produce work in line with creative briefs, web design course graduates deploy a range of creative, technical and project management skills in their work. As a web design student, you can expect to learn HTML, CSS and other fundamental coding languages, as well as honing your creative skills with courses on typography, graphic design, colour theory and branding. As a web designer, you’ll consider strategic goals, including user experience, and develop an ability to work effectively to a project timeline and creative brief.
