Web Production Course

Who should do this course?

Adobe Authorised Training Centre

Anyone that wants to build websites for a living. The knowledge acquired on this course will not only save thousands of production hours but will also provide a substantial edge over the competition.

Participants are required to have an understanding of HTML, Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash prior to attending this class or they should have completed:

  • Dreamweaver CS4: Website Development,
  • Fireworks CS4: Web Graphic Creation, and
  • Fast track to Flash CS4

About the course:

On this 3-day, project-driven, 'hands-on' course participants walk through production of a single website focusing on real world production techniques.

Commencing with techniques for briefing and improving communication between the developer and the client (including sign-off procedures and contracts), the course demonstrates how to turn the brief into a design concept using Fireworks (with a focus on long term maintenance and working within a team).

Once the client is happy with the design, participants will learn to convert the design mockups into HTML templates using Dreamweaver,, manipulate the code to create optimal online performance, and ensure browser compatibility. Flash is then implemented into sections of the website to add a new dimension to the site design.

Participants learn more uploading techniques, good site management techniques, how to register a domain name, getting a site hosted, and marketing a site with the major search engines.
