The Web Design & Development Technology offers two degree plans, Web Designer and Web Developer. Current students will want to decide which path they wish to take by their third semester. Click either of the degree plan headers below to view course listings for that degree.
- Web Designer
-
A Web designer is similar to a graphic designer. In fact, many graphic designers are Web designers and vice versa. Sometimes the term Web designer is used to describe a Web developer, but really a Web designer focuses on the user interface. They are responsible for layout, color palettes, and sometimes usability. Web designers often develop some programming skills to enable them to include certain features in the interface such as roll-overs or dynamic menus.
- Web Developer
-
A Web developer is responsible for programming the functionality of a Web site. So while a requirements analyst is tasked with determining what a Web site should do, the Web developer figures out how it is going to do it and then writes the necessary programming code. Much of this programming code is behind the scenes and not visible to the user.
However, a Web developer may also be responsible for the code that the user sees. This is the HTML/DHTML and Javascript that make up most of the Web pages you interact with in your Web browser.
- Web Design Specialist Certificate
-
The Web Designer Specialist Certificate of Completion allows students from other TSTC Associates of Applied Science degrees and designers in the industry to get specialized training in Web design. This two semester certificate offers a quick emersion into the Web design techniques and standards that we teach in our five semester Web Design degree.
