During the course, the student will enjoy the creative experience of developing multi-media web pages and will also learn to use specialised products such as Shop Factory Pro, Adobe Flash and Dreamweaver CS3, gradually building on the experience and ultimately designing and creating a high quality professional website of their own.
WEBM@ESTRO™ – Advanced Web Design Course
The WEBM@ESTRO™ Advanced Website Design distance learning course is a fully supported, self-paced training programme for those wishing to take up a new career as a Web programmer or those who simply wish to be able to build advanced commercial-quality websites.
The WEBM@ESTRO™ training programme has been designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of JavaScript (an object-based, event-driven Web programming language), which tightly integrates with HTML. You will also learn about Dynamic HTML and Cascading Style Sheets, which removes many of the constraints that have previously limited the web author's creativity and provides a whole new way to make web pages more interesting for the visitor.
