Getting Started with Adobe Dreamweaver
Characteristics Of This Class:
In this workshop, you'll get to know Dreamweaver's user interface and learn how to set up a website, as well as techniques for creating basic HTML pages.
- Defining a new site using the Dreamweaver site manager
- Choosing one of Dreamweaver's built-in CSS template layouts
- The Dreamweaver interface
- Adding text, links, and images
- CSS styles to get the look you want
- A brief look at some Dreamweaver Spry widgets
- Previewing work in browsers
- Publishing work via FTP
- Creating a Dreamweaver template for additional pages
Presented in Adobe CS6, but most of what is taught will apply to earlier versions of the program.
Who Should Take This:
Visually-oriented people who want to design a website but are more comfortable working with a graphical editor than straight code. If you've never used Dreamweaver before, or you've poked at it a little and have no idea what you're doing, this workshop is for you. You should understand the Fundamentals of Web Design first.

A great hands-on refresher on my new (finally!) laptop. Great to DO things to follow the instructor's steps, as opposed to just listening and taking tons of notes. The instructor was a very nice guy very patient and seems to enjoy the material.

the class was a good intro and worth taking. i feel less intimidated than i had previously. i felt like the teacher kept us on track and didn't get into anything too far off the basics.

I am hoping to take over maintenance of my website soon and I am well on my way to feeling capable of doing that. The Getting Started With Dreamweaver class instills confidence and was well worth the investment of time and money.

The Dreamweaver class gave me the knowledge I needed to create a unique, smart website.

This was a good beginning overview of Dreamweaver that will help you put off opening the book for a little longer. (Don't pretend you don't know what I am saying!)
Ted, 12/30/2008
I've been fumbling around with Dreamweaver and hiring programmers to do all the work. The day after the class I rebuilt all the nav bars, added new menus and images and cleaned up the look of the entire site without having to call a programmer once.
Blaine, 8/5/2008
I was thrilled to have found an introductory Dreamweaver training class that was not only well worth my time, but also my money! I learned a great deal more in this class than many others I've attended. Thank you!
Dawn, 4/3/2008
Exactly what I was after - thanks!
Marc, 9/5/2007
I enjoyed the instructor very much. Great size of class!
Rae, 6/1/2007
Excellent introduction to Dreamweaver. It was worth both the time and the money spent, especially for someone who knew very little about Dreamweaver. I am editing and creating new pages for my old web site already, after yesterday's valuable introduction. Thank you very much. My son also enjoyed the class a lot and is asking me for more classes in the near future!

Some years ago I used the Allaire 'ancestor' of Dreamweaver. Haven't used it for a while. This workshop got me up to date quickly.
Kelly John, 1/17/2006
This workshop filled in the gaps of my Dreamweaver knowledge.

I just purchased Dreamweaver this class offered visuals and discussion that aids in beginning to use it.
Margie, 1/17/2006
If you are a visual learner, this class was a great start for beginners in Dreamweaver. We had a knowledgeable instructor that was able to capture the class in discussion and problem solving. Thanks!
