Frontend Design
& Engineering.
Learn how to translate designs into responsive, accessible and maintainable interfaces using semantic HTML, modern CSS, JavaScript, reusable components, animation and practical performance optimisation.
Duration
6 weeks
Learning format
Physical or remote
Core technologies
HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Course outcome
Responsive website and component system
Build interfaces that work beyond the
design mock-up.
Frontend engineering combines visual accuracy with semantics, responsiveness, accessibility, interaction, maintainability and performance across real browsers and devices.
Turn a visual direction into a system
Learn how typography, spacing, colour, layout, breakpoints, components and states can be translated into reusable frontend rules rather than isolated page styling.
Design for real people and devices
Consider keyboard users, assistive technology, reduced motion, slow connections, smaller screens, loading states, errors and content that does not fit perfectly.
Core frontend
engineering skills.
The programme combines browser fundamentals, interface design, interaction and delivery practices in one connected workflow.
Semantic HTML
Meaningful document structure, forms, headings, landmarks and browser-native elements.
Modern CSS
Custom properties, Grid, Flexbox, responsive sizing, typography and maintainable styling patterns.
Responsive design
Mobile-first layouts, fluid spacing, useful breakpoints and adaptable content behaviour.
Accessibility
Keyboard interaction, focus management, labels, contrast and assistive-technology considerations.
JavaScript interaction
DOM updates, events, form behaviour, interface state and browser APIs.
Motion and feedback
Transitions, keyframes, transforms, loading feedback and reduced-motion support.
Component systems
Reusable interface patterns, states, variants, design tokens and documentation.
Performance
Image handling, loading strategy, rendering cost and practical frontend optimisation.
What you will
build.
The course project is a responsive multi-section website supported by reusable interface components and documented design decisions.
Semantic page structure
A clear document hierarchy using meaningful sections, navigation, headings, forms and content landmarks.
Responsive layouts
Fluid page sections that adapt across mobile, tablet and desktop without relying on one fixed screen size.
Reusable components
Buttons, form controls, navigation, content blocks, cards and states built from shared rules.
Accessible interactions
Keyboard-friendly controls, visible focus, useful labels, validation feedback and appropriate semantics.
Purposeful animation
Motion that supports hierarchy, state and feedback without overwhelming the interface.
Optimised deployment
Prepared assets, production builds, browser testing and deployment of the completed project.
Six-week
curriculum.
Each week develops another layer of the final interface, moving from structure and visual systems to interaction, optimisation and deployment.
01
HTML, CSS and visual foundations
Semantic markup, the cascade, selectors, custom properties, typography, colour, spacing and maintainable style organisation.
02
Responsive layout and accessibility
Flexbox, Grid, mobile-first design, fluid sizing, breakpoints, focus, labels, contrast and keyboard navigation.
03
JavaScript for interface behaviour
DOM selection, events, state, form validation, progressive enhancement, Intersection Observer and useful browser APIs.
04
Animation, transitions and feedback
Transforms, transitions, keyframes, reveal effects, loading states, performance considerations and reduced-motion preferences.
05
Components and design systems
Design tokens, component anatomy, variants, states, reusable CSS, documentation and consistent interface decisions.
06
Optimisation, testing and deployment
Image optimisation, loading strategy, build tooling, browser testing, performance review, deployment and final project presentation.
