Redefine the extraordinary in web design and development. Join Adobe for an entertaining hour covering the creation of the full range of digital experiences, including interactive websites, applications, user interfaces, presentations, and mobile device content, with Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Web Premium software.
Showcase your website design concepts using the compositing features in Photoshop and Illustrator, and the prototyping tools in Fireworks. You’ll learn to create a presentation-quality mock-up of your website using tools you may already know.
With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the current web-compliant standard for formatting pages, you can build effective browser and search engine-friendly sites. You’ll start by learning the foundation concepts of CSS, including how and why you use CSS, and then begin editing a CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver CS4.
Using your new knowledge, you’ll begin creating a site with the built-in CSS tools that make page creation in Dreamweaver CS4 so efficient. You’ll add images, links, navigation and more, as you learn to work with the tools, workspace and panels in Dreamweaver CS4.
While discovering additional CSS tools in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll use Adobe Bridge to incorporate design and video content from Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks and Flash into your site. You’ll also explore the option to export XHTML content from InDesign into your CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver.
Now that you can create and edit your CSS-based site in Dreamweaver CS4, you’ll build on your new skills by previewing some of the web’s coolest current technology trends, including Spry navigation menus, Spry widgets, buttons, rollovers, and more. Finally, with your interactive, cutting-edge site ready to go, you’ll learn to publish your content to the Web as well as mobile devices.
