Tuition in Website Design

Our practical website design tuition provides students with a solid foundation in major aspects of website design. Tuition is on an individual one-on-one part time basis with the pace of instruction and course content determined by the student. We have had students who are programmers, graphic designers, webmasters and those who know nothing but would like to take it up as a paying hobby.

All material supplied is used frequently by web designers - the course objective is to get students operational quickly whilst understanding website design fundamentals.

The Course Structure

Emphasis is placed on quality - well written content, understandable navigation and unintimidating layout.

Coding is moving away from HTML towards Cascading Style Sheets and the separation of structure and presentation. Style sheets offer speed, easy website maintenance and good search engine visbility. Therefore, students are taught to construct web pages wherever possible using only style sheets.

We do not use WYSIWYG editors with bloated code, simple HTML coding keeps the page fast and easily edited.

Tuition is structured carefully so that there is a linear learning curve. Typically, there is 40 hours of tuition, 2½ hours twice a week for eight weeks. Students are expected to show critical thought and be innovative as they design their own website on which they will be assessed.
