Web Design with Hugh Miller
This is a six session class (2 hours each) in web design. It begins at the beginning with basics: links and page appearance. My focus in the class is good workflow. How to work like a professional - in other words, how to do web design and still get home for dinner. Software: Adobe Dreamweaver.
- Session 1: Realities in the world of web design. Setting up your site. The Dreamweaver interface. Adding links and images.
- Session 2: Beginning Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The power work flow for controlling how your pages look and behave.
- Session 3: Dreamweaver templates: Take charge of everything on your web site with this brilliant web site power tool.
