UX & Web Design Master Course: Strategy, Design, Development (Udemy.com)

the course is hopelessly outdated and it shows. It needs a serious update to be relevant for future recommendations.

As someone who had a very minimal understanding of UX and how it maps onto designing website, I found the course to be very well delivered, clear, and gave me practical skills to start building on. The only thing that could be improved was the final couple development sections. It was a bit hard to practice and follow along because I think word press had updated its themes and I couldnt find the one's Joe was using. Nonetheless, watching Joe build the sites from start to finish was very valuable. I feel prepared to keep building on the skills that I gained in this course. Thanks, Joe!!!

This must be the most comprehensive course on Udemy. So much content. It takes you from defining a problem, the content, through the principles of design to developing the solution. It is taught by a skilled teacher who knows the content not just in theory but in practice. If I have to pick on something it is that the Wordpress is a bit dated, but not so that I could not apply it and learn from it. Thanks I've learned a lot and have already applied it in reviewing a chatbot application with a UI that bothered me, using what I've learned I could realize and articulate what was wrong with it.

Good - really well structured and presented. I would say probably the bit I learnt most was around development and being able to customise Wordpress themes is really handy. In terms of things to maybe add - feel like the Definition and IA phases could have been formatted a bit more like the development stage where you're given exercises to do and complete before going through them (e.g. we could have wireframed all 3 sites). Appreciate there were things like snack breaks but we could have been given something more substantial to work through. Otherwise, great course.

I highly recommend this course and this is why: It is so complete that halfway through I managed to build two websites and sign a long-term contract, where part of my job is UX design. Of course, like every course you need to spend time on it; keep notes, read all the extra material that Joe recommends and practise a lot. I literally spent months for half of the course, studying and building the first website, but it paid out! Joe is really amazing in explaining the concepts and the course is engaging, but you need to put a lot of effort too. One of the best investments I have ever made.

After 20 years of designing websites I already had tonnes of experience in UX but never really knew it. This course showed me how to think about what I am doing and confirmed alot of stuff I already thought. So happy I came a cross it. It took a long time to do but it was worth it. Some exercises in here that I already do on a daily basis but it was still nice to see other ways of doing it and learn something new. I feel like now I have a good understanding of UX and can move forward with confidence in my web designs. I think that is mainly down to the instructor who you can tell has incredible amount of knowledge and the presentation is the perfect balance of engagement and information.

Excellent course, it is comprehensive but that comes with complete coverage of the topic. Joe the instructor is an engaging educator and it shows that he is an experienced industry professional with the valuable insights he offers throughout the course. The structure and content are well designed and delivered. Joe really breaks down the UX Web design, strategy and development process into it's essential components and takes you through them piece by piece with a well explained 'how" and "why". The course does really not cover responsive design in the html css site build part, although there are plenty of other learning avenues to school you on that. The other gems of content make up for it though! Definitely recommended and well worth the time.

Amazing course! Very comprehensive lectures and an easy-to-follow delivery! By that I mean that Joe Natoli's style of teaching feels friendly, trustworthy, confident and makes you want to keep listening. And give nothing but good UX! :D The course presents a lot (LOT) of information, sometimes in a short time, so it's best to keep a notebook at hand. Nevertheless, it is priceless knowledge, and it is very well structured. The video is well made, and the audio quality is consistent. There are a couple of videos in which the audio volume is slightly lower, but that can easily be compensated from the laptop's settings. Thank you Joe Natoli and Udemy for this course!

I personally believe that as good as any programmer/developer can be; planning is paramount. So far(early in the lecture) it seems that Joe is spot on with where we need to build the foundation of great UX Design Now, at half way through the course; I'd like to add that Joe's background in graphic design only adds to the courses value. It's nice to see that an instructor is also well rounded. My final thoughts are: its a large course, it has many elements. I have experience in website development so the three very detailed explanations of basic html on through to building an eCommerce site was not necessary for me but I could see it as an added value for someone that may be thinking about starting UX from scratch. I'll probably be purchasing more classes by Joe, I've used other online instruction courses and Joe's style doesn't put me to sleep.

Joe is an excellent instructor! Entertaining, very thorough, consistent, and patient. He doesn't just assume you understand and just skip merrily onwards. He doesn't rush you through the lesson. He will take the time, and repetitions necessary to hammer home the points. Yet, he was able to keep you entertained throughout. He follows through on his promise and will take you from zero to building some pretty great looking sites. Overall, great course. Met all my expectations and then some. Will be keeping an eye out for more of Joe's courses in the future.
