WEB DESIGN

Designing a website requires front-end design and programming skills. Over the course of the KIAcademy program, you will develop proficiency with the technologies and techniques essential to building a site from scratch. In each three-hour workshop, the instructor will provide context to help you understand the aspect of the project at-hand, followed by a practical, hands-on activity in order to help you develop a website by the end of the class. Upon completion of this program, you will be prepared to:
