About This Course

Would you like to learn to use Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 to design, create, and maintain user-friendly Web sites that are full of professional-quality Web pages? If so, then this is the class for you! You won't need any prior Web design skills or knowledge of code. We'll start at the beginning, and through engaging lessons and hands-on exercises, we'll build a sample site from the ground up.

In the process, we'll explore the program's interface and how to set up Dreamweaver for building as many sites as you like with a minimum of effort and repeated tasks. You'll find out how to insert and format text, work with image files, and see exactly how hyperlinks work. We'll also take a short tour of Dreamweaver's Flash tools, work with tabular data, and get a handle on frames—getting clear on when to use them and when not to.

As we build a site together, you'll master the basics of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and even pick up a little HTML. By the end of the course, you'll be well-prepared to learn more about HTML or CSS if you want to take your skills to the next level. So get ready for a great adventure that will show you just how simple and fun Web design can be!
