Seattle Web Classes

The web is a powerful and fluid medium, and our classes try to meet the challenge of web publishing that meets standards and is predictable across browsers and platforms. These classes cover the gamut from basic HTML (oh yes, you still need to know a bit of code) to the production of complex sites.
