How can I brush up my web design skills?

Just landed a job with Verizon Business, as a Staff Specialist. In the position I will be creating presentations and misc projects. I will also be helping to reformat their website. I only have about a years experience, but it was on really old software; DotNetNuke. How can I learn more about web design before starting. Also, I have never even used DreamWeaver.

How can I brush up my web design skills?
Go out to your local bookstore, and buy "Quickstart" books on the topic you are looking for. I taught myself Flash, CSS, and InDesign/InCopy by using those books, and they are great.





If you have a little more time, try enrolling at your local community college. Credit hours are cheap, and classes are taught by professionals in each respective field.





There are also some great tutorial websites out there such as http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Dr... for Dreamweaver. Also, the CSS Zen Garden http://www.csszengarden.com can help with CSS design.
Reply:I don't know what version of Dreamweaver you are going to be using, so I can't get you a direct link. I would just recommend doing a Google search for "Dreamweaver tutorials" and then flipping through the pages and taking a few hours every day to try the tutorials, and get a feel for the program. That's what I did.





You could also buy a "Dreamweaver for Dummies" book if you really wanted to. that would have everything in one place for you to work with whenever you needed it.





Hope I helped a little
