| Course description | This course introduces the challenges of setting up a commercially-oriented web site, the lessons learnt being applicable to any aspect of digital design practice as a commercial venture. The course is directed towards the understanding of technical, social and legal issues involved in the commercial practice of digital design and e-commerce. We focus on the topic of web-site design because of its centrality in this context: digital design practices will normally engage in e-commerce whatever their main business. Practical activity will centre around what would be required for the development and commercial exploitation of the system designed. |
