When I enrolled for this class I was not at all excited. I know many of people who like to create and design websites, but I am not one of them. I previously took a class that was html based and did not enjoy it. I found it very tedious and there didn’t seem to be enough creativity for me. I felt like there were general standard that most web sites follow and I should stick with those, taking out much of the creativity. I know web design is important to my career for many of reasons. One being that it can be a tool to reach many of people very effectivly and vastly for relativly cheap. It’s also a way to share your work, business and expiernce with others; I know I often check out someones website before getting to involved with anything. It can tell a lot. I also feel like it can generate business..depending on the set up of the website you may even make contacts strictly through the site.
it is a sigh of relief knowing that we do not have to learn HTML! I knew someone and taken this class and was telling me good luck! now I dont have to worry about it. You’re right. Website are a cheap way of getting the word out to customers. It is very important for us graphic designers to help businesses communicate the message they are sending!
