Our Web Design Transitions Certificate Program is an intensive week geared towards would-be web professionals, but it can also benefit motivated entrepreneurs who want to take their website into their own hands. By learning the essentials of HTML, CSS, and the visual tool Dreamweaver, you'll understand how to build a simple website and edit it on your own.
