Top student queries - Subject

Passion for the subject & basic computer knowledge are the only prerequisites before you enroll with us for GWD Pro course. Good designing & Visual sense would be an added advantage, although not mandatory, as we give regular exercises to our students to increase their aesthetic feel. Our GWD Pro course curriculum has been framed in such a way, that the students are taught from the fundamentals & covers every step in detail. So, you can definitely do the course without knowing anything about it beforehand.

Web designing is the customer-facing segment of the website. A web designer is responsible for how a site looks and how the visitors interact with it, as they use the designing principles to build a great looking web site. They also ensure smooth navigation for customers around the site & they use limited coding to create small functionalities in the site.

Web development is the back-end of the website, where programs are written to increase the interactivity on the pages. A web developer focuses on the working of the site, client-server functions, and how the customers get things done on it.

Yes. Graphic designing industry is constantly evolving & the styles keep changing with time. So, we keep close track of the changing trends in the industry & regularly update our curriculum accordingly.

In Web designing, not many institutes in Chennai have included Javascript, JQuery & Bootstrap in their Web designing curriculum. We have even added ‘HTML mail designing’ as part of the course syllabus, which would be a nice value addition for the students while attending interviews.

In Web development, apart from training the students in PHP/MySQL, we have also included Wordpress in the curriculum, which is the most widely used CMS in the world. Good knowledge in wordpress is essential if students want to secure a job in web development.

An HTML page is usually a static one and JavaScript makes the website more interactive by adding more functionalities. JavaScript aids in easy navigation of the website and helps designers to guide the visitors with additional information. Also JavaScript is helpful in creating visual effects like image-rollover. Apart from supporting web pages, Javascript also supports external applihttpsions like PDF documents, running widgets, flash applihttpsions etc.

jQuery is the most popular Javascript library designed to simplify the Client-side scripting of HTML. jQuery's syntax is devised to make it simpler to navigate a document, select DOM elements, create animations, handle events, and develop Ajax applihttpsions. jQuery also offers abilities for developers to build plug-ins on top of the JavaScript library.

Yes. Responsive websites are a must today, if you want the site to rank high in Google search engine results. In Responsive website designing, the websites are created in such a way, where they are in proper alignment in whatever device they are opened with – be it mobile, tablet, desktop or others.

HTML email is an email that is formatted like a web page, using colors, graphics, table columns and links. Most marketing emails you receive today from companies would like colorful, with an attractive banner, nice layout, & few emails have buttons/links, that would direct you to the website. These are HTML mails & many companies have a separate department for creating such mails regularly. So, knowing how to create HTML emails will add tremendous value to you as a web designer.

PHP is mostly used for Web development & basic knowledge in HTML, CSS & JS is sufficient to work with the language. Although it is not necessary to master the web-designing tools before learning PHP, it will be advantageous if one knows the front-end designing too, from the career point of view, as the student would have more options then. The companies may also prefer a candidate with knowledge in both web designing & web development.

Career-wise, this course will offer you a lot of opportunities, as you will get the eligibility to work as a Graphic designer, Web designer, UI UX designer & Web developer. All the mentioned fields have huge demand for skilled professionals & the student completing our GWD Pro course can actually choose the best job from multiple offers.

Every company needs Graphic designers to create their corporate identity, Logos, Brochures, Advertisements, Product packaging & a lot of such designs.
