Training Course Summary:

Outline: Creating a successful website is no longer a case of learning a single package like Microsoft Frontpage. This course looks at the whole project of creating a website idea through the creation and publishing process. It also covers techniques to drive traffic to your website once it has been published. Delegates will learn to use Frontpage features to leverage the best from their site. As this is a hands-on course delegates are required to have a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows.

Who should attend? Individuals who prepare or update web pages, public websites or company intranets. Managers and others involved in planning and commissioning websites may also find the course is of value to them. A working knowledge of Windows is essential, especially managing files and directories. The course takes place in our IT Suite, each delegate having their own multi-media PC and a full copy of Microsoft Frontpage. During the course each candidate will create a website from pre-prepared graphics and text, and upload the site to a web server.
