Before I started this course, I had a completely different idea of what I was going to be learning. I had the impression that I was going to be learning coding basics and how to implement that into industry best practices. After learning what website design and usability entails, I see websites through a different light now. Learning how the smallest changes to your site can have the most significant effect on your company’s success. I implemented some of the design concepts taught this month on my website with the hopes of attracting more traffic. I also plan on executing usability test while I build my site to get crucial feedback from users in my target market. Performing a usability test will ensure that the final product I put out to the public will have had some of the kinks worked out. I hope to put what I learned this month into practice with my consultation business in the future. I liked how on the surface, this subject can seem simple, but in actuality, it is very complicated.
Even though my goals did not correctly line up with what I learned in this course, I was still able to complete all three. The first one was to pass the course with a 90% grade point average or higher, which I acheived. The next goal was to use what I learned in this course to build up my site to 50% completion, in which it was accommplished. Lastly, the third goal I set for myself was to gain a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and Java coding language. I was able to take some courses on Linkedin Learning and use what I learned to develop my website. I want to continue achieving the goals that I set for myself within this degree program
