we will also set up your email for you in outlook if required
(bring your laptop), and during training we
can actually upload pages onto the server so you can see
your work on the internet immediately.

Please Note: This Dreamweaver Website Design training course
DOES NOT cover the use of server technology, database
integration, ASP, PHP, ColdFusion etc

Emma's unique training course also includes info about;

Where to find low cost web site hosting, setting up your
email and managing your domain (why choosing your domain
name is really important), how to promote your site (how to
get listed with google and the other major search engines,
and get your site highly ranked) information about setting
up shopping carts, selling items and
accepting credit card payments using PayPal on your web site
...and more- just ask us what you need to know
and we will try to fit it into training!

When you book a private session we can of course be
much more flexible about exactly what you cove
r- and this session is designed especially for you.
If you need to take over the maintenance of your
own site we can actually work on this while we train to ensure
that your experience is as realistic and useful as possible.

Emma does not cover the official Dreamweaver course as
this would take far longer than 4 hours and she includes
course content that is not covered on an official (Adobe)
Dreamweaver training course
eg site optimisation & promotion, e-commerce.

Within four hours we ensure that you learn
enough of the basics to be able to go away and start
creating, or take over the maintenance of your own
site straight away, and (very importantly) do things
the right way round. For example, building your site
with the search engines in mind- rather than
build it and THEN try and get it highly ranked.
( So you wont find us teaching you how
to use frames! )

The items marked with an asterix (yellow) are usually all
covered in all courses and are subject to change
depending on the needs of clients undertaking training.
Emma has six years experience using Dreamweaver and
tutoring it to private clients and small businesses and
is a qualified teacher so she understands that individuals
have different learning styles and caters for this.

Emma has a range of money making web sites herself,
and shares a wealth of practical advice and information
about this aspect of web design.

We then recommend that you buy Dreamweaver for Dummies
Use this link to find Australia bookstores and order online

Shop with the Australian and New Zealand book
specialists at Abebooks.com  

If you need a more comprehensive course or to follow an
official Adobe course course then contact your local
college etc - they usually usually last around around
6 - 8 weeks
If you would like to find a Certified Adobe trainer or to
undertake the online course visit. www.adobe.com

Please note that is rare for any of our clients to request
additional tuition after the 4 hour session-
Emma is a patient and experienced teacher
and will enable you to learn and understand
Dreamweaver 8 very quickly!

If in doubt we suggest you book a 1:1 session- IT literate
individuals should be fine
attending the group session however!

You can also request additional sessions following this
course if necessary- $125 per hour.
