C2's Standards-based Web Design Training

Standards-based web design is a process that uses open standards (like HTML and CSS) to create web sites that are fast-loading, clean, accessible to everyone, backwards and forwards compatible, search engine friendly, beautiful and purposeful.


C2's Standards-based Web Design class is for designers (or anyone) serious about creating professional web sites that adhere to these principles. The techniques taught in this class are used to create the most popular and well-designed sites on the web. Standards-based web design focuses on the process of implementing a design in the most efficient, accessible method possible, using a set of standardized techniques without needing complex programming language knowledge (all you really need is a text editor to create pages). Using C2's best-practice driven curriculum, this class provides all the skills necessary to create an entire web site including:



  • planning & information architecture

  • hand-coding HTML & CSS

  • design and layout techniques

  • typographic control

  • image preparation

  • navigation systems

  • interactive behaviors

  • search engine optimization

  • accessibility, usability and compatibility

  • email HTML

  • site testing, optimization,validation and management
