Learn how to build FrontPage Web Sites from the
ground up. This course will teach you everything from the basics of Web
page creation all the way up to the more advanced features. The course consists of
FOUR (4), one-hour sessions. Registration for all four classes is only
$34. Why Microsoft FrontPage? There are a growing number of companies and professionals who are finding out that it is more cost effective to develop
and maintain their Web Site in-house than it is to have an outside firm do so.
Not only can they keep their costs lower, but they maintain complete control
over their site, and can make changes and modifications as needed. FrontPage is
a very powerful tool, yet is easy to learn. If you can write a letter in Word,
you can build a Web site in FrontPage.
Who should attend?

web site for their organization, or anyone who is interested in developing web
sites as a profession. This course is designed for the non-computer professional

Web, and is proficient with word processing (such as with Microsoft Word). No
prior web development experience is necessary.
