For this Unit the students will build on the knowledge they gained from last year in web design. We will be spending a cycle making sure that the new students (who may not have done web design) have an understanding of the basics. We will then look at Web design from the content, audience and user friendliness approach. The students will be given a list of web sites and asked to evaluate them based on these 3 categories. They then will make their own website and evaluate it.
