This course shows how to use the combined power of Dreamweaver and CSS to create compelling, easy-to-maintain web page layouts. After demonstrating how to maximize Dreamweaver's built-in layouts (including HTML5 layouts), author Joseph Lowery reviews essential layout concepts such as the box model, document flow, and the proper use of floats. Next, the course covers how to develop an array of basic 2- and 3-column layouts from the ground up, and then how to customize them with advanced features like CSS3 rounded corners, faux columns, and Spry widgets. The course concludes with a demonstration of techniques for converting a desktop layout to one better suited for tablets and smart phones. Exercise files are included with the course.

Luna is a single-page Web site, a design approach that works very well for sites that would, in conventional terms, comprise three to six pages of closely related content. Single-page sites are becoming quite popular among Web designers—for their own sites and for client sites, as well. A brochure site for an artist, an author, or a typical restaurant, would work very well. On the other hand, the Harvard University or Library of Congress sites would not be good candidates. Luna uses modern CSS such as fixed position navigation, embedded fonts, column layout, rounded corners, CSS gradients, and shadows— and while the look is highly graphical, not a single background image is used. This makes it extremely easy for you to maintain and customize your site.
