NMD 340 - SL: Creating Websites for Clients and Communities

This course focuses on work with real-world clients to create Web pages or responsive apps with compelling designs and interactive features. A review of basic graphic design, HTML, CSS, simple PHP and web architecture tools like WordPress provides a technical foundation combined with critical skills for collaboration, negotiation and teamwork. Students apply these to tell a digital story that represents community or client values, and then apply the same skills of designing, coding and networking to produce a professional portfolio of their creative work as New Media students. This course has been designated as a UMaine service-learning course.
