It applies to individuals working as web designers and web developers, who apply a wide range of knowledge and skills for basic web development.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify main layout sections from design specification | 1.1 Identify the required sections of the web page 1.2 Create the web page structure |
2. Layout the web page to match design specification | 2.1 Position document elements 2.2 Style web page elements to match the design specifications |
3. Test and validate the layout | 3.1 Test the website in various browsers 3.2 Validate the web pages against industry standards |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
develop a website according to design specifications
lay out page elements
test the web pages in a variety of browsers
validate the web pages, against industry standards.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
summarise standard web and web scripting design principles
define and explain the application of the following for website development:
cascading style sheets (CSS)
the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
a markup language, such as hypertext markup language (HTML), or extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML)
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards.
Assessment Conditions
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the website technologies field of work, and include access to:
a computer
an aesthetic presentation brief
a variety of browsers
the internet, to validate against the W3C.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
Foundation Skills
This section describes language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills incorporated in the performance criteria that are required for competent performance.
