Students will leave an introductory design course with the tools they need to build their skills in the fields of web design, web graphics, and web development.

The 5th Edition features a major change from previous edition. Although classic page layout methods using CSS float are still introduced, there is a new emphasis on Responsive Page Layout utilizing the new CSS Flexible Box Layout (Flexbox) and CSS Grid Layout techniques.
