In order to brush up my web design skills I took a ten-week online course on design and the web. I passed the course and did learn a few things, although a lot of it was revision from when I studied online media at the Wanganui School of Design in New Zealand. (And the rest was common sense - well, to me anyway!) I’m glad I did the course although I only wish the software we had used to build our website was a more recognised (and reliable) one.
