"I found The Dreamweaver Training course from 21st Century Training to be very beneficial, both in the skills it taught me on a practical level and the conceptual understanding I was provided, which has significantly improved the performance of our company website. Before the course my understanding of website design and development was minimal, but since attending I have gone on to run our company website, creating improved functionality and making it a more informative and attractive marketing tool. The basic understanding of SEO provided in this course enabled me to manage optimisation efforts, the result of which was a leap in our Google ranking from barely visible to the first 3 pages for our desired search term. I would recommend this short course for anyone interested in learning about website design and development using Dreamweaver, whether experienced or novice."

Jessica, Giles & Posner.

"The course was excellent from start to finish. The booking system was lovely and easy. The tutor was fantastic and really helped us out by answering questions and tailoring the course to our specific needs. I would thoroughly recommend 21st Century New Media to anyone needing training."

Alison, The Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology.

"Coming from a position of absolutely no web experience at all, I feel quite confident that I can go away after these 3 days and create the website almost exactly how I would like it to be. Alex was brilliant!!"

Lee, Twyford C of E High School.
