    Description
    This course introduces foundation concepts of coding HTML, CSS, and using a content management system for the production of Web pages. Web page creation will include formatting, layout, construction, and presentation. The current version of markup language will be introduced, as identified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This course introduces methods used to design accessible websites for users integrating the use of assistive technology. Students develop code and apply page layout to meet recommended standards in compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), an international standard, including WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, and WCAG 2.2. Web "content" generally refers to the information in a web page or web application, including: natural information such as text, images, and sounds; code or markup that defines structure, presentation, etc. The course will examine the four principles of WCAG: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable and Robust. Current legal requirements for accessible websites, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508, will be emphasized and implemented in project work produced in this course. Students will need to know how to navigate with a computer, locally and online, and will need to know how to create files and folders, and be able to upload and download files.
