Week One: Introduction

Welcome to the Web Design for Everyone Capstone!!! It really is my intention to make sure that everyone who completes this capstone will have a product they are proud of. The challenge is that "everyone" is actually a very diverse group of people, each person coming in with different skill sets and interests. So in this course you will pick from one of three portfolio options to complete. The goal of this approach is to help students self-select into appropriate peer groups.

Week Three: Review and Preparation Phase

This week you will continue to review your fellow students designs. Feedback will be based on layout, proposed content, and accessibility. The goal is that these peer reviews will inspire you to attempt something more on your site (or provide the feedback that lets you know you may want to scale down your own expectations.) You will begin to create the content of your site as you wait for the reviews of your project to be created.

TOP REVIEWS FROM WEB DESIGN FOR EVERYBODY CAPSTONE

by IIOct 4, 2022

Thank you Dr Colleen van Lent . Learnt a great deal of Javascript from you after struggling to understand in other platform. Thank you for putting this together.

by DDDec 13, 2021

Overall a great course for beginners to start out WebDev. Peer reviews may take awhile especially since it depends on the number of students taking the course in the same period

by DPFeb 16, 2020

This is a great course. It has given me a good start on front end development. I had a taste of the different components and a vast number of resources to get better at it.

by AMSep 28, 2020

I would advise not to take this course unless you are ready and willing to give in time and effort because it simply boils down to 'make a website'
