Adobe Dreamweaver CS4

Course Synopsis: Adobe Dreamweaver Website Development is a three day course that provides web designers with the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to build and manage professional web sites using industry standard for professional web development and design. This class introduces the student to the fundamentals of Dreamweaver with an emphasis on best practices and current web standards.

Who Should Attend: This 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.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class.

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
