The interest in the web design and development field has grown tremendously over the past few years and we get numerous queries about where to study (https://www.newperspectivestudio.co.za/web-design-in-east-london.html) It’s important to note that Web Design is different from Web Development as is focused more on the customer-facing part of the website better known as the front end. Whereas Web Development is the back-end of the website, where programming languages are not visible to front end-users and determine the internal working of the website and what to display. Very common in dynamic language web applications and content management systems such as laravel and WordPress. **TIP:** Whatever course you may have in mind be sure to understand the course offerings on specific languages HTML, CSS, and JQUERY or Javascript are a must for most end and backend web developers. Languages such as PHP, Javascript, Python are also important so are frameworks such as Bootstrap, laravel, symphony be sure to research each before making any decision. Some languages are in decline and don’t offer a good prospect in a web design career field, while others are simply oversaturated.  Your Schoo, university or College may be able to guide you on this. **If you are intent on studying Web Design, here is a list of schools for you:** --- ## **INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS & COLLEGES offering web design courses** --- #### **(https://cityvarsity.co.za/)** -  Cape Town and Johannesburg -  Diploma in Multimedia Design and Production -  Higher Certificate in New Media Development - **(https://cityvarsity.co.za/)** --- #### **(http://www.dada.org.za/web-design.html)** -  Cape Town -  Web Design - **(http://www.dada.org.za/web-design.html)** --- #### **(http://friendsofdesign.net/2-year-digital-design-course/)** -  Cape Town -  2-year Digital Design Course - **(http://friendsofdesign.net/2-year-digital-design-course/)** --- #### **(http://www.inscape.co.za/courses_graphic.php/)** -  Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town -  Graphic Design Diploma or Degree with Multimedia - **(http://www.inscape.co.za/courses_graphic.php/)** --- #### **(http://www.prestigeacademy.co.za/)** -  Bellville, Cape Town -  Diploma in Graphic Web Design and Web Development - **(http://www.prestigeacademy.co.za/)** --- ## **UNIVERSITIES offering web design courses** --- #### **(http://www.uj.ac.za/EN/Faculties/fada/departments/multimedia/coursesandprogrammes/NationalDiplomas/Pages/Multimedia.aspx)** -  Johannesburg -  National Diploma: Multimedia - **(http://www.uj.ac.za/EN/Faculties/fada/departments/multimedia/coursesandprogrammes/NationalDiplomas/Pages/Multimedia.aspx)** --- #### **(http://www.up.ac.za/)** - ** Pretoria** -  BA Information Design - **(http://www.up.ac.za/)** --- #### **(http://www.tut.ac.za/Students/facultiesdepartments/art/departments/visual/m/Pages/default.aspx)** -  Pretoria -  Multimedia Design - **(http://www.tut.ac.za/Students/facultiesdepartments/art/departments/visual/m/Pages/default.aspx)** --- ## **SHORT WEB DESIGN COURSES** --- #### **(https://www.getsmarter.com/)** [**Graphic Design Course**](https://www.getsmarter.com/products/uct-graphic-design-online-short-course) Develop the creative, technical, and business skills needed to launch your career in graphic design. -  E-Learning -  UCT Web Design - [**www.getsmarter.co.za**](https://www.getsmarter.com/) --- #### **(http://www.boston.co.za/)** -  Countrywide -  Introduction to Web & Graphic Design - **(http://www.boston.co.za/)** --- #### **(http://conceptinteractive.co.za/courses/)** -  Rondebosch, Cape Town -  Part Time Web Design -  +27 (0) 21 202 7890 - **(http://conceptinteractive.co.za/courses/)** --- #### **(http://www.elmi.co.za/creative-arts/website-design.html)** -  East London -  Skills Certificate in Web Design -  Part Time: Evening Classes – 10 Weeks - **(http://www.elmi.co.za/creative-arts/website-design.html)** --- #### **(http://www.pixelcrafttraining.co.za/web-design-course.html)** -  Berea, Durban -  5 Week Web Design Course - **(http://www.pixelcrafttraining.co.za/web-design-course.html)** --- #### **(http://openwindow.co.za/short-courses/)** -  Irene, Gauteng -  Web Design - **(http://openwindow.co.za/short-courses/)** --- #### **(http://cs-cert.unisa.ac.za/)** -  E-Learning -  Introduction to Internet and Web Design -  Developing Web Applications with PHP - **(http://cs-cert.unisa.ac.za/)** --- #### **(http://www.vegaschool.com/Courses/Pages/default.aspx?courseType=Short%20Learning%20Course)** -  Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town -  Introduction to Web Design - **(http://www.vegaschool.com/Courses/Pages/default.aspx?courseType=Short%20Learning%20Course)** --- #### **(http://www.webdesignacademy.co.za/website-design-training.html)** -  Durban and Johannesburg -  Web Design with Dreamweaver CS6 - **(http://www.webdesignacademy.co.za/website-design-training.html)** --- If you would like more information about Web Design, have a look at (http://www.topwebdesignschools.org/ultimate-guide/)brought to you by topwebdesignschools.org. --- ** **
