Why am I learning this?
The world is now online and website development has changed. The focus is now on design and usability over code. With the introduction of web engine such as Wix, GoDaddy and Square, development has changed. In this unit you will cover the ideas behind design, navigation and usability. You will plan and execute a website finishing with a fully working, online, live website for us to view. You will get an opportunity to look at HTML/Bootstrap and embed some HTML if you wish into your websites.
When will I use this skill?
Design falls into so many areas of IT/Computer Science and graphic design. In this unit you will use the Project life Cycle which will serve you well if you do either Computer Science or IT at Key Stage 4. It is an exciting opportunity to develop something fit for PC's and Mobile. In the end you will have an executable product that you can show off to your family and friends.
Will I have ever done this before?
Possibly not in this instance. It is likely that you have completed these processes in Design Technology. However, it is unlikely that you will have designed and built a website before.
