Overview
In this unit, you will create web sites that provide an optimal viewing experience across a wide range of devices. The basics of developing web pages will first be discussed, along with the theory and practice to support this development. Then, using responsive design, you will develop solutions that adapt the layout of the viewing environment by using fluid grids, proportional images and layout rules. A mobile-first approach is taken, where you will learn problem solving and programming skills to provide progressive enhancement, producing innovative and engaging digital content for mobile devices and for desktop systems.
