Introduction Course - Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash CS5 (3-Day)

This course is designed to show the extent to which The Studio Products work together to provide an excellent working environment to produce creative and functional websites.

Dreamweaver now uses CSS (cascading style sheets) to control structure and text styles making web pages more effective with accessibility issues for both non-sighted users and search engine.

Web 2 standards now separate the content from the graphic display using CSS (cascading style sheets). This means that if you take away the CSS, the content is displayed in pure text format - which is screen reader and search engine friendly.

The site can be based on individual pages or templates driven to allow ease of editing and updating, and how to include flash animation, presentations and buttons in your site to add dynamic content and improve the users experience of your website.
