Standards-Based Web Design Full Series Training Course
Course Summary
We take a holistic approach to designing and building websites. We build a web page as the first exercise in class and we progressively build more feature rich pages and sites as the class progresses. This course is not software specific. It can be completed with just a text editor. The instructor will use Dreamweaver in code view for most of the course. Photoshop will be used to prepare images but the principles behind the image creation will be stressed, the principles will carry over into any program used to process images.
