Dreamweaver CS6 Level 1

Building Websites with HTML & CSS

Webpages are written in HTML and CSS code. First, we’ll introduce you to the fundamentals of what HTML and CSS are and how to write them in the Code View of Dreamweaver. Then we’ll take advantage of Dreamweaver’s Design View to speed up our workflow and learn more about how to use HTML/CSS to develop webpages. This training will give you hands-on practice creating websites all the way through uploading them to make them live. While you learn the visual side of Dreamweaver, you also learn how the code works behind the scenes.

This class covers what you need to get a website up and running, including Rollovers, Cascading Style Sheets, Forms, and much more.

If you prefer to learn with pure code instead of Dreamweaver’s Design View, check out our Web Development Level 1 class.

  • Learn how to layout pages. We start off simple and elegant, then get fancier later.

  • Learn to layout pages using div tags, instead of outdated tables.

  • You’ll make rollovers that indicate interactivity.

  • Learn to layout forms.
