Reviews
"Introduction to Web Design was my first attempt at any class in understanding web design. I found it incredibly helpful with its history to where it is today! The little check-in questions and vocabulary review along the way were also helpful for me to summarize that particular section. Thank you!"

"So far this course has been quite informative. I am trying to update my skills as I seek a new job, and I hope that learning more about web design will give me an advantage, as many companies now expect administrative staff or office managers to take on this task."
