Getting Started with Web Interface Design
Before diving into our comprehensive web interface design programs, let's make sure you're set up for success. Here's everything you need to know before beginning your journey.
Essential Prerequisites
-
Basic Computer Skills
You should be comfortable navigating file systems, installing software, and working with multiple browser windows. No coding experience required yet.
-
Design Awareness
Start paying attention to websites you visit daily. What makes some interfaces intuitive while others frustrate you? This mindset shift is crucial.
-
Time Commitment
Plan for 8-12 hours weekly study time. This isn't just watching videos — you'll be practicing, experimenting, and building real projects.
-
Creative Curiosity
The best interface designers ask "why" constantly. Why does this button placement work? How does color affect user behavior? Embrace that questioning mindset.
-
Technical Setup
A decent computer with at least 8GB RAM, reliable internet, and willingness to learn industry-standard tools like Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.

Skills Assessment
We'll evaluate your current abilities through a practical design challenge — not a test, but a conversation about how you approach problems and think about user needs.
Program Matching
Based on your assessment and goals, we'll recommend either our comprehensive 12-month program or specialized 6-month tracks focusing on specific aspects of interface design.
Prep Phase
Before classes begin, you'll receive curated resources, software setup guidance, and access to our student community where you can connect with future classmates.
