Design and Authoring
for the online media
Among communicators, the drive toward error free, clear, compelling content is as intense as it ever was – and that goes for online and offline content.

As the online media grows in popularity and as we become more connected both at home and at work, writers are increasingly called to publish their works online. Patrick Lynch and Sarah Horton said the following about Web style:
“We seek clarity, order, and trustworthiness in information sources, whether traditional paper documents or Web pages. Effective page design can provide this confidence…. Visual and functional continuity in your Web site organization, graphic design, and typography are essential to convincing your audience that your Web site offers them timely, accurate, and useful information. A careful, systematic approach to page design can simplify navigation, reduce user errors, and make it easier for readers to take advantage of the information and features of the site.”
And that’s the goal of this course, to help you design and author online content that readers can find, that they will trust, and that they will understand.
