Adobe Web Design with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Style the presentation of web pages written in HTML and XHTML
Learn to simplify the repetitive language of HTML styling using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
Apply the styling principles to any form of presentation including print
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a standard mechanism for controlling the design of HTML pages. CSS describes how an HTML document should be formatted, defining the fonts, sizes, color, spacing, backgrounds, borders, position and every other aspect of HTML formatting. The process of separating the content away from the design by removing all the formatting elements into an external style sheet, gives Web Designers much more control. Entire websites can be redesigned much more efficiently, and they are more accessible and download faster. This course covers CSS in detail, from basic formatting to creating complex page layouts. The course will demonstrate how to create standards-compliant pages combined with sophisticated structure and design. Delegates will leave the course with a thorough understanding of how CSS works, and the ability to write their own stylesheets from scratch.
