Taking on the management of a web site can be a daunting task. Content management, accessibility, (X)HTML, search engine optimisation, CSS, JavaScript – the field is awash with jargon that can seem opaque and off-putting.

This course will provide:

experience of editing pages and publishing them using Adobe Dreamweaver
an overview of web technologies such as Flash, JavaScript and Content Management Systems
an understanding of HTML
an understanding of accessibility issues and search engine optimisation.

The course is intended for editors, managers, administrators, designers, and other non-technical users. It will begin with an overview of terms and technologies before moving on to hands-on practical exercises, first looking at HTML (the simple mark-up language that creates most web pages), before moving on to editing and updating a site, using the industry standard software, Adobe Dreamweaver.
