Dreamweaver for HTML Emails 2 Days Overview

This 2-day Introduction course helps you learn how Adobe Dreamweaver CC can be used to design and create HTML mailshots. We will provide you with the hands-on skills you need to make Dreamweaver part of your email-marketing campaigns.

We all know that a well-crafted and visually appealing email can make a big difference to whether people respond to your message. Our course focuses on the challenges that we need to overcome in order to produce a consistent result that will look good across a wide variety of email clients and devices.
