Overview: Macromedia Dreamweaver 4 has everything you need to develop a professional Web site. It is an exciting and fun package for the creation of professional quality web sites and is extremely easy to get to grips with because it uses the very best WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors, it allows simple creation of tables and frames, plus the ability to use layers, animations and full support of cascading style sheets. It even includes its own DHTML animation tool - Timelines.

This course is for web authors who want a ‘fast track’ hands-on overview of the many powerful features of Dreamweaver. You will learn every process of planning, creating, editing and publishing a website. You will also be introduced to the Dynamic HTML elements such as Behaviours, Timelines and interactivity.
