Final course in the CE ACC Web Development Program. Develop a website that demonstrates the range of skills and abilities acquired during the program. Students will design and develop a website for an existing organization, under supervision of one ACC Web Development Program faculty members acting as a mentor. Students will seek out an organization in need of a web presence (or overhaul of an existing website), and work with that client to determine functional requirements, aesthetics, and content. The mentor broadly defines the requirements for this final, "capstone" project, approves the client selection for the projects, assigns milestones, and is available for advice (both technical and in dealing with clients) during regular progress reviews. After the mentor approves the project, they submit the completed project to the Capstone Review Committee for final approval and determination of credit. No classroom meetings; one-on-one with a mentor. Required Prerequisites: Completion of all other requirements for an ACC Web Development Certificate.
