Course Overview
Are you looking to create a polished, professional-looking website or blog for your small business, your non-profit organization or your personal use?

This is very much a hands-on course. Beginning with the first class you will start building your skills as you build a working, multi-page website that will help bring new customers to your business, get out the message for your non-profit organization, broadcast your news and views on a blog page, showcase the snapshots from your point-and-shoot camera…wherever your imagination takes you!

And more!
