Decription
In Web Site Planning and Wireframing: Hands-On Training, Laurie Burruss, director of digital media at Pasadena City College, demonstrates the essentials of creating a web site with a polished, professional appearance and a compelling user experience. The goal of this hands–on course is to deconstruct a web site’s home page in order to identify its structural elements and feature set. Using Acrobat Pro and the web developer’s toolkit, Laurie shows how to capture a homepage and create, in another layer, its visual framework (wireframe). Exercise files and a downloadable PDF quiz accompany the course.
