Course Details

Create fantastic Web pages …. and develop yourself a glittering career

Do you have finesse for design?  If you have then a career as a web designer could be just for you.  The perfect way to get started is the Adobe Dreamweaver and Flash course.  The opportunity to learn both in one course is unique and you can learn how to create the website with Dreamweaver and how to improve it with Flash animation.

Dreamweaver is a software tool for creating websites and applications.  It also enables web developers and designers to create and manage websites easily.  It has a fantastic combination of application development tools, visual layout tools and code editing support.

Adobe Flash is a program used to add animation and interactivity to web pages.  Flash manipulates graphics to animate drawings, images and text and contains an Object-oriented language called ActionScript.  Flash is a preferred tool with web designers because they can have games, moving pictures and interactivity on pages that download quickly.

You interact with Flash more often that you may realise.  If you have been on websites with games, cartoons or interactivity then you’ve probably already used Flash.

This course will give you the opportunity to realize and perfect the huge range of capabilities and turn you into a Dreamweaver and Flash authority.
