Dreamwaver
Course
This course is for beginners. You do not need any previous knowledge in Dreamweaver or web design. We will use Dreamweaver ‘split’ view so we can use all the good visual tools as well as doing some simple amends down here in the code as well. In this series we will take this static design from either Illustrator or Photoshop and together, step by step, build everything in HTML5, CSS3 & JavaScript. We will make our own responsive design navigation. We will make adjustments so that everything looks great on different mobile devices. We will work with beautiful fonts & colours & even add Google Analytics to our site to get amazing information about exactly who visits your site. Now web design can sometimes be tricky so I am here to help - just message me if you get stuck. There are also exercise files so you can follow along. I even save a full copy of the website at the end of every video so that you can check yours again mine if you’re is not working quite right. Let's get excited about finally being able to build a website like a professional web designer. See you in class.
