Master Adobe Creative Suite For Web Design [Deals]

Let’s face facts here. Adobe Creative Suite might be one of the most powerful and flexible sets of tools going. Of course it probably also has one of the steepest learning curves and most moving parts of any app suite. I’m betting that most of you who use CS use maybe one or two apps really well, dabble in a couple others, and the rest are just mysterious and arcane to you. Now if you take a task like web design, CS has pretty much everything you need to make a great site. The question is—do you know how to best use all the parts together?

Thought not.

Which is why I like the approach this Udemy course we have a deal for. It’s not “learn Dreamweaver for websites” or “learn to make web graphics in Photoshop”. It’s a complete course using all the strengths of the entire suite.

Besides writing here, I also teach classes on WordPress and Podcasting. These are continuing education classes for professionals who are looking for a no-nonsense, practical approach to getting a task done. I’ve also recorded probably a couple hundred hours of screencast tutorials on WordPress and other tools. I bring these up so you understand that I get teaching. So when I look at a course—especially ones like the Udemy Web Design Master course—I look at how the course is put together.

Do the modules make sense? Is there a logical flow from one topic to another, from one module to another? Could you jump to one section if you needed to to brush up on a particular task?

I’ve looked at this course and the outline and I like it. I’d take it (if I didn’t a) rely on WordPress and b) know that I’m not really a good designer no matter how many courses I take) and enjoy it. I like how each lecture (there are over 100, by the way) is short and digestible (all between 3 and 8 minutes). You can watch a quick section, apply it, practice it, and move on. Don’t have time for 15 minutes of video? Neither to I!

This course is usually $100 and we have it here for $49. Take some time this summer and hone your skills. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.
