Course Description

One of the most important ways to impress potential employers is to show strong examples of your user experience projects. This final project course in the certificate program gives you the opportunity to bring all your skills together and create a site or project that demonstrates your abilities. You will seek out your own real-world client and work independently to complete your design project.

In this course, you will complete the entire process of analysis, design, development and deployment of a website. You¡¯ll begin by preparing a requirements document that defines the client, the site objectives, the users, and the target technology platform. Then, you will design the information architecture, interface and visual design before implementing the site.

Your project implementation may include HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript as needed, as well as other development languages such as Swift for iOS, Java for Android. You may also use content management system tools such as WordPress or Drupal, if required. Some of these tools require advanced skills, and you must provide a well-defined justification for their use in your proposal and obtain instructor approval before proceeding. The course also addresses cross-browser compatibility and briefly reviews jQuery and other JavaScript libraries.

Throughout the course, you will explore current trends in website design patterns and frameworks. By the conclusion of the course, you will have presented your design and implementation process and produced a fully functional website or a front-end interface for a web page to add to your portfolio.
