Overview
While the concepts covered will translate to many kinds of interactive media (apps, digital kiosks, games), our primary focus will be on designing contemporary, responsive websites. In this course you will complete the first half of a large scale project—developing a comprehensive plan for a complex website—by defining the strategy and scope of the site, as well as developing its information architecture and overall structure.
Along the way we will also discuss:
Different job descriptions in the web design industry and where UX and UI skills fall within this spectrum
The difference between native apps and websites
The difference of agile vs. waterfall approaches
User personas and site personas
User testing
This Web Design - Strategy and Information Architecture course offered by Coursera in partnership with Calarts is the third course in the UI/UX Design Specialization, which brings a design-centric approach to user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone.
These courses are ideal for anyone with some experience in graphic or visual design and who would like to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design.
