Your first HTML & CSS web page - Dreamweaver

via Skillshare

Overview

You love design but you hate coding. You give your web designs to someone else & miss out on vital income. Hi - my name is Dan and I’ll be showing you how to code your first ever website using the new Dreamweaver 2017.

Why should you learn to code? Because relying on others to bring your designs to life is frustrating when they don’t seem to appreciate the hours you spent aligning the image boxes or kerning your headings. It’s also a huge chuck of the invoice that you’re leaving on the table if you’re out sourcing or turning away web design work.

Whether you’re building a website for yourself, or you want to generate more income for your business I promise this is the place to be. We’ll build a portfolio website that you can adjust and use for yourself. Like the mechanic with the rusty car - designers often have half finished or no portfolio website at all. Lets build yours together and along the way find out that coding isn’t as scary as some people (you included) make out.

Let’s learn more to earn more as a designer.
