Elstree Film Studios - CSS Layout - Scheduled Courses









"Very good and pitched at the right level. Lots of really helpful information and alot to take away. Very friendly and professional approach. Would definately recommend" Hertfordshire County Council.

CSS layout (Cascading Style Sheets) is a means of separating the content of a document from the style and layout of that document, making the HTML far cleaner. This is useful for a number of reasons: firstly, you can change the layout of the whole CSS website by altering only one file (the .css document) and you have a much greater control over the design. Secondly, CSS websites are also far more search engine friendly and thirdly, you can make different CSS versions of the same page for different HTML readers. i.e. PDAs, Mobile phones, Web TV, Braille readers. The course explores all of these advantages.

CSS will enable you to separate style from content in order to make life very easy for visitors who prefer to only view content on a page. Such versatility means that blind or partially sighted people who use a screen reader to interpret a page, could be able to use your CSS sites with ease.

Layout and positioning of navigation elements can also be completely consistent across a site - something that was previously possible only using frames.

In addition to this course, we also offer two other training courses utilizing Dreamweaver: Our HTML Training Course makes for a great starter in the art of understanding and coding clean HTML. Our Complete Dreamweaver Training Course neatly combines the HTML and CSS courses together.

"Made me aware of how powerful CSS is & start thinking about how school websites can be set up entirely using CSS." Hertfordshire County Council.

Duration: 2 days.

Location: 21st Century New Media (Production Offices), Elstree Film Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1JG. [MAP]
