ART 441 is an advanced web design course developed to integrate visual design, coding fundamentals, and real-world production workflows into a cohesive digital experience curriculum. Students learn to plan and architect websites using sketches, wireframes, and information-architecture strategies before translating those plans into standards-compliant HTML & CSS. Building on design theory from earlier courses, the curriculum emphasizes layout, accessibility considerations, responsive structure, typography, asset preparation, and the mechanics of deploying websites to public servers using proper DNS protocols. Students also explore the role of modern CMS platforms—such as WordPress - and analyze how different systems shape design decisions, scalability, and user experience. To support contemporary practice, selective assignments incorporate AI-assisted ideation, layout exploration, or code refinement, allowing students to critically evaluate how emerging tools can enhance or disrupt the design and development process. By the end of the course, students produce and launch fully functioning portfolio websites, demonstrating professional readiness in both visual design and front-end development.
