Our one-day introduction to Macromedia Dreamweaver is for new or prospective web designers wishing to create websites with the help of this leading professional software. After completing this course, students will be able to create websites that include frame-based pages, tables, graphics, and links.

Participants should have a basic understanding of an operating system: for example, how to launch an application, create and save files and copy files from CDs and other media.

This course does not include the design of images for the internet. Delegates wishing to design such images may be interested in our Photoshop course.
