This Dreamweaver course is for people new to web design and development and would like to use Dreamweaver to build intuitive, attractive and accessible web sites. This class will cover design techniques as well as best practices for CSS and design standards.
The amount of material covered in class is quite vast (see outline below). It's therefore required that students are comfortable using a mouse, opening/ saving files and with the general operation of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills still wanting to take this course should first consider undertaking an IT skills course so as to not slow down the rest of the class.
