Student Testimonials:
"Web Design and Management remains a favorite of mine, bringing a smile when I think of it. The whole package was wonderful: the textbook, the way the class was so well designed and maintained for learning, but also Patti being so encouraging and available with thorough and helpful answers to questions. Couldn't have been better for developing useful job skills and a project ready for public use."
"I loved the way this course was paced, I felt for once the text book assignments served a purpose and that overall this class was a great experience. I think this is an excellent starting point for anyone and I plan to recommend it in the future."
"I really enjoyed this class. I had some previous experience in HTML/CSS but never really understood what I was doing, just knew enough to make some small changes here or there, but now I feel like I have a much better grasp at what is needed for website usability and user experience (UX). Overall, I think the teaching style of this class was great, It was a nice pace, and the instructor gave plenty of great feedback a long the way. I would certainly recommend this class to other students who are interested."
