Philosophy
The Web Design program at GT Solutions is designed with comprehension in mind. Apart
from the technical specifics and the lexicon of facts and methods, the program seeks to
foster an understanding of the logic of markup and scripting languages, why web
technologies have evolved the way they have, how they compliment one another, and
how they can be exploited to produce efficient and well-structured websites.
The program teaches efficiency both in development and in runtime, the advantages of
a CSS-based layout, unobtrusive javascript, dynamic use of php, cross-platform and cross-browser
compatibility, W3C standards, and how to put together a page that validates and degrades
gracefully.
The GT Solutions web design course strives to give students skills that not only advance their
careers, but that give them the skills that make the web a better experience for everyone.
