ECS507U Website Design and Authoring

Module code: ECS507U

Credits: 15
Semester: SEM1

The aim of this module is to examine the art of good design, applied to web sites through both theory and practice. What makes a web design that is easy and pleasing to use? This module introduces the issues that must be considered in designing a website and the tools that can be used in website design and construction.

This module is part of a series of modules on web development and programming. It builds on the first year module that introduces the technology of the web. This module goes further with the technology of the web (which is evolving rapidly - notably HTML 5 and associated technologies such as SVG, DOM and support for media files) but places equal emphasis on the more fundamental and enduring principles of good design.
