Course Overview:
Master the best and most widely used Web design tool available. You’ll learn the basics of document creation, and how to insert and format different types of page content (text, images, hyperlinks, tables, and different media formats). Most importantly, you’ll explore page design – with an emphasis on avoiding common layout errors.

Of course, developing a web site isn’t any good if you don’t have some method for actually getting up on the Internet, and we’ll learn how to use Dreamweaver to do that as well.

If you have never designed a Web page before, don’t be afraid. A thorough understanding of page design is not required to use Dreamweaver effectively. In fact, using Dreamweaver is an excellent way to learn page design. You’ll be surprised by the power of this fun and easy application.
