Dreamweaver CSS Basics — Master Class
Sheri German is a nationally-known CSS expert and Adobe ACE. In this special Master Class, Sheri teaches how to create a basic website from start to finish that is CSS-based and complies with web standards. As an industry leader, Sheri teaches only table-less website development.
This is the best class for those who want to learn professional website development to enhance their career goals. Topics cover:
- defining a website,
- understanding web standards,
- creating cascading stylesheets (CSS) to format text,
- creating CSS for basic positioning and page layout,
- making templates,
- building forms,
- and uploading websites.
We also slip in a lot of Graphical User Interface (GUI) design concepts and basic 508-accessibility, too.
This class is for beginners who may or may not have previous experience with another web authoring program, or who might have rusty web skills. By the end of the class, you will have completed and uploaded a small website that you can show your family, friends, and even your boss!

Dreamweaver — Quick!
If you don't want to become a "code-jockey" but still want to create websites as quickly as possible, then this introductory-level class is for you!
This class teaches how to use Dreamweaver's existing template designs as the springboard for a new website. You'll learn enough "code" to understand what's under the hood and be able to adjust a Dreamweaver template to fit your design. Topics include:
- defining a website,
- customizing a Dreamweaver template to fit your design,
- understanding web standards,
- using cascading stylesheets (CSS) to format text,
- using CSS for basic positioning and page layout,
- and uploading websites.
This class is for beginners, especially graphic designers, who want to start designing websites but who hate the thought of learning computer code. By the end of the class, you will have completed and uploaded a small CSS-based website that you can show your family, friends, and maybe even your boss!

Real World Websites
Anybody can learn the basic mouseclicks of Dreamweaver, the industry-leading web development tool, and put together a simple website.
But in the real working world, you need to learn more than just mouseclicks.
You need to learn how to build a website the right way, to take advantage of search engines and advanced features.
That means learning CSS, web-standards, and 508-accessibility requirements.
And of course, that's what we teach at PubCom.
