Unit in brief
Learners investigate website development principles. They will design and develop a
website using scripting languages.
Unit introduction
Increasingly, international organisations rely on websites to serve customers and, in
some cases, to generate revenue. With millions of web pages being created daily, the
need for websites to be engaging, innovative and desirable is important. As a website
developer, you must use sophisticated techniques to capture user interest and to ensure
that customers are served. The scripting involved in the development of websites has
become crucial: website developers need to understand and acquire the necessary skills
to find solutions to a variety of scenarios and problems.
In this unit, you will review existing websites – commenting on their overall design and
effectiveness. You will use scripting languages such as Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript
®
and a simple text editor, or rapid
application development tools. Finally, you will reflect on the website design and
functionality using a testing and review process.
Many software developers, database experts and systems managers need web-client
development skills as an integral part of their overall portfolio of expertise. This unit
will prepare you for employment as a website developer or as a website development
apprenticeship. The unit will benefit you if you want to go on to higher education to
develop your studies.
