Overview
The UCT Web Design Online Short Course is a paid short course offered by the University of Cape Town in partnership with GetSmarter (via edX), aimed at professionals who want to build genuine web design skills rather than just a theoretical overview. It runs across ten weekly modules covering the fundamentals of web design, planning a website’s content and structure, HTML, image optimisation for the web, visual design choices (colour, imagery, fonts, and layout), CSS and styling HTML5 with CSS, responsive web design, writing web-optimised copy and linking pages, and finally testing, publishing, and maintaining a website.
It is designed for professionals looking to advance their career prospects or differentiate themselves with dedicated web design ability, and is guided throughout by UCT faculty and industry experts rather than being purely self-directed.
This is a paid, university-branded short course rather than a free MOOC: learners pay course fees up front or via a split payment plan, and on completion receive a certificate of completion from UCT, along with access to edX’s Career Engagement Network for ongoing professional resources.
