Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 for Creating HTML Emails Introduction 2 Days - London

Dreamweaver for HTML Emails 2 Days Overview

This 2-day Introduction course helps you learn how Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 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.

Even web designers with a good understanding of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) can trip up when creating HTML emails, because what works on the web often does not work in email. Join us for the inside knowledge you need to get your email communications to look and act right every time.

Our goal is for you to be able to create engaging and attractive HTML email that will appeal to your audience.
