Lesson 1 - getting started ...
Posted: Jun. 18
This first lesson provides a strong overview of a lot of concepts related to the design of your website. In this class, you may learn a lot and start building your website, but you will probably go back and start a redesign fairly soon simply because it's hard to think as long as you may need to about your web site before you design it for this class. That's OK too because as you start a beginning website, you will discover things along the way that you didn't think about before.

The assignment for this lesson is to do some research on site maps. This is not to get you to copy another site's map, but primarily to get you thinking about the structure of your web site. Remember, a web site is a collection of pages all designed to meet a purpose, so getting a strong design in the beginning -- even if it changes later -- is essential to your web site design.
Take a look at the assignment and take the quiz when you can. Remember, you will have lots of feedback as you take your quizzes, so even wrong answers are a way to reinforce what you've learned.
I'll see you in the message forum if you have any questions!
