Learn the skills you need to create basic yet functional, well designed websites in this dynamic, instructor-led 120 hour program. As an adult learner, you want to apply your skills to actual websites, not just classroom assignments. Therefore, you will choose a business or organization (real or fictious) and build a live website throughout the program that demonstrates all of the skills taught.

Therefore, your site must be WC3* compliant. (*World Wide Web Consortium)
