Our Program

Humber's unique project-based approach leads participants through the entire web design and development process - including the creation of online rich media applications. Students build static and dynamic websites utilizing the most current versions of industry standard applications: Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Students will also learn programming and scripting languages that drive the web, such as: XHTML, PHP, ActionScript, and jQuery.

Through various projects, students will gain experience in the development of websites using technologies ranging from HTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and concluding with sites that use dynamic content and templates that can be updated by the client through a CMS (Content Management System). Flash sites are created that utilize dynamic content and streaming media. The program wraps up with students presenting their professional portfolios to faculty, peers and industry professionals.
