A Note About CS5

If you have a previous version of the software, don't worry! Although we're teaching Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, our instructors will point out which features are new and which aren't.

So whether you're using CS5 or its predecessors, our classes will meet your needs.

Class Description

New full day format for more hands-on experience

How do the acronyms of web design become websites? HTML, xHTML, CSS, PHP, div, ul, swf, li, and dozens more combine, often under the protective cover of software applications like Dreamweaver, to make the web interfaces we see every day. In this short class we digest this alphabet soup.

Even though the great software used in web design have made it easier to overlook the code it creates, it doesn't make the code any less necessary to understand. So, we'll work through what we sometimes call "structured gibberish" and make a simple website that we can be proud of!

Along the way we'll cover those important but elusive concepts that everyone needs to create and edit websites more effectively.

  • Registering a domain name and arranging a host for your site
  • Site Content vs Structure vs Behavior
  • The relationships between HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
  • Web graphics formats: GIF, JPEG, SWF, PNG deciphered
  • Browser support (or the lack thereof)
  • Evaluating how much to do yourself vs hiring a pro
  • Testing your site
  • If a pro built your site, can you maintain it?
  • Hands-on HTML: learn the code you need
  • Q & A

who should take this class?

  • You! If you're new to web design
  • Web concepts for the curious (and you)
  • Those who are contemplating a job in web design or maintenance
  • Artists, designers, photographers who need to speak to web designers intelligently and knowledgeably
  • Those trying to get in touch with their inner geek
  • Those preparing to learn Dreamweaver: understand what's under the hood getting in too deep
