In the following session, I outline what you need to have on your web design business web site. So we are talking about contact phone numbers, examples of your previous work etc…
For many though, since they are just starting out, they may have no commercial work to show - no worries, I provide you with a couple of strategies to make up for that.
Finally, I also get into how you can land your very first web design client.

Stefan–Many thanks for your DW tutorials. I
am an absolute beginner w/ DW with a
“learning cliff” so I am as overwhelmed as I
am enthusiastic. However, I want to learn web
standards DW craft from the gitgo. So do I
skip learning tables, etc? Your CSS tutorials
are great but I don’t get it yet. Would learning
to use CSS within DW be a good strategy? I am
looking forward to the next set of DW ’s. Any
suggestions about resources?

Hi,
If you are trying to get your head wrapped around CSS, you are better off sticking with code only for now.
Have you seen my CSS tutorial site: http://www.csstutorial.net
.. Therein you will learn the basics of CSS.
PS: I will have new Dreamweaver video tutorials coming out very, very soon. But I’m going to concentrate on the soon to be released CS4.
Thanks for writing.

Great session by the way. And I agree, Martin - Dreamweaver as all editors should only be used in the code editor until you get to become a more advanced user. It seems counter intuitive to say only advanced users should utilize the WYSIWYG editor, but they know enough on how to tweak Dreamweaver to output the code that they are looking for and more importantly how to quickly fix the code Dreamweaver outputs.
Cement your feet in CSS and the world is your oyster. =)
Cheers
Mike
