4 Unit 4 Website Development (10 Credits) Introduction The worldwide web has given rise to a new medium of communication. Websites can allow us to walk into a world with very few boundaries. We can find MP3 files and download them with ease. Our digital images can be sent to relatives overseas in seconds. We can go shopping without leaving our homes and source the very best prices with the click of a mouse button. Essential to developing the worldwide web are the people who design effective documents that can be read by a web browser. Web designers have the fascinating task of taking text, images, video and other resources and crafting them into high quality documents for broadcasting across the world via the internet. Their brief is to produce attractive and informative sites that are accessible to everyone. This includes users with disabilities, where, for example, features can allow speech synthesisers to read out pages for blind users. In this unit learners see the potential of the web and will develop a skill set which will be highly valued by industry and commerce as well as being a useful personal skill for leisure pursuits. Web design is a skill that is becoming more and more popular as the worldwide web expands and as companies see the advantage of using browser technology for their company intranets. The unit provides a firm grounding in the concepts of web design which will help learners to progress to employment or to another educational course and to become valued employees with the key skills needed in their chosen employment.
