There are two web design classes that are taught by me at JMU. One is CIS 366 which is the introduction to web design and the other class is CIS 490 which is the independent study class that focuses on more advanced web design. Feel free to browse through a few of the Projects that have been designed by past students in each of these classes. Below is additional information on both of these classes and information of being considered as a project for one of the classes.
