With the growing age of technology, learning the basics of web designing is important. This statement holds true for all aspiring graphic designers. WLCI School of Design, therefore has incorporated the module for Website Designing in the modules of all students.

This is a skill that requires disciplines and understanding of production as well as maintenance. A web designer needs to adapt the knowledge of graphic designing and interface designing. One must also have good grasp on standard coding system, proprietary software systems, search engine optimization techniques and user experience driven design.
